Engineering Design Process

Multiple Choice

What is the first step in the engineering process?

• Prototype a solution

• Communicate your design

• Define the problem

• Brainstorm multiple solutions

Multiple Choice

What is the problem in our video?

• You are tired

• Your work day was too stressful

• Your friends are coming over

• You are hungry

Multiple Choice

After you define your solution, what step comes next?

• Identify constraints on your solution

• Build a prototype

• Communicate your design

• Give up

Multiple Choice

What does "constraint" mean in the engineering design process?

• A restriction for possible solutions

• A physical object holding you down

• Any possible solution

Multiple Choice

What is NOT a constraint for the taco party?

• Someone is a vegetarian

• Someone is gluten-free

• People will show up in 30 minutes

• You have a few ingredients at home

Multiple Choice

 If you were given $10 to buy lunch for yourself, what constraint would you have?

• Time

• People to work with

• Budget

Multiple Choice

You have defined your problem and identified all constraints. What is the next step?

• Building a prototype

• Brainstorming ideas

• Testing and evaluating your prototype

Multiple Choice

What type of ideas were brainstormed in the video?

• Food types

• Animal species

• Inventions

• Canceling the hangout plans

Multiple Choice

After the brainstorm you have to:

• Pick the easiest solution

• Abandon the project

• Select the most promising solution

Multiple Choice

What solution did the video decide on?

• Building a salad

• PB & J on corn tortillas

• Ordering takeout

Multiple Choice

What prototype was built in the video?

• A taco

• A corn tortilla with PB & J

• A pizza

• A car

Multiple Choice

Was the prototype successful?

• Yes, everyone loved it

• No, it was gross

Multiple Choice

What was wrong with the prototype?

• The tortilla

• The filling

Multiple Choice

What is "iterating"?

• Throwing away the current prototype and starting again

• Continuing with the solution even though it got negative reviews

• Making changes to the current prototype based on tests and user feedback

Multiple Choice

How many times should an engineer iterate?

• Only once

• Two or three times

• Never

• As much as they need to

Multiple Choice

In the video, when you iterated the PB & J corn tortilla, what was the first change?

• Ordering takeout

• Making taco filling instead

• Making it with bread

Multiple Choice

What solution was found for the final iteration?

• Adding cheese

• Removing the beans

• Asking a friend to bring hot sauce

• Changing the tortilla

Multiple Choice

The final step of the engineering process?

• Building a prototype

• Communicating your solution

• Enjoying tacos
