The Engineering Design Process Flashcard

Front

What is the main goal of the 'Ask' step in the engineering design process?

Back

To identify and define the problem or need that you are trying to solve.

Front

What do you do in the 'Imagine' step of the engineering design process?

Back

Brainstorm a list of possible solutions.

Front

What should you do in the 'Improve' step if your design is not working well?

Back

Make a change to the design and test it again.

Front

What is the correct order of the main steps in the engineering design process?

Back

Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, Improve.

Front

What step are you in when you gather materials and start building your design?

Back

The 'Create' step.

Front

What is the purpose of the 'Plan' step in the engineering design process?

Back

To outline how you will create your solution.

Front

What does the 'Create' step involve in the engineering design process?

Back

Building a model or prototype of the product.

Front

Why is testing important in the engineering design process?

Back

To evaluate how well the design works and identify areas for improvement.

Front

What is a prototype in the context of engineering design?

Back

A working model of a product used to test and refine ideas.

Front

What is the significance of the 'Improve' step?

Back

It allows for modifications based on testing results to enhance the design.
