Engineering Design Process

Front

What is the Engineering Design Process?

Back

A series of steps that engineers follow to come up with a solution to a problem, including defining the problem, brainstorming, designing, building, testing, and improving.

What is a prototype?

Back

A working model of a design that is used to test and evaluate ideas before final production.

Front

Why is it important to ask questions during the engineering design process?

Back

Asking questions helps to clarify the problem, gather information, and explore potential solutions.

Front

What should you do after receiving feedback on your design?

Back

You should go back and improve your design based on the feedback received.

Front

What is the first step in the Engineering Design Process?

Back

Defining the problem that needs to be solved.

Front

What does it mean to brainstorm in the engineering design process?

Back

To generate a wide range of ideas and solutions without judgment.

Front

What is the purpose of testing a prototype?

Back

To evaluate how well the design works and identify any necessary improvements.

Front

What is the role of evaluation in the engineering design process?

Back

To assess the effectiveness of the design and determine if it meets the requirements.

Front

What does it mean to iterate in engineering design?

Back

To repeat the design process, making improvements based on testing and feedback.

Front

What is a design brief?

Back

A document that outlines the problem, criteria, and constraints for a design project.
