Design Loop

What is the step in the Design Process where you identify a problem or need that exists?

• Define the Problem
• Test and Evaluate
• Construct a Prototype
• Research the Problem

A small group of people start sharing ideas. Some ideas may seem silly, but all suggestions are written down for further consideration. This activity is part of which step of the Design Process

• Research the Problem
• Brainstorm
• Communicate the Design
• Identify the Need

During which step of the Design Process do you experiment with the prototype under controlled conditions and collect /record data

• Evaluate the Solution
• Select the Most Promising Solution
• Construct a Prototype
• Share Results

 During which step of the Design Process would the specific constraints or requirements of the challenge be identified

• Define the Problem
• Research the Problem
• Redesign
• Develop Possible Solutuons

The engineering process begins by

• Brainstorming new ideas 
• Creating an advertisment
• Identifying the need or solution to a problem
• Sharing ideas

Which word best describes a constraint?

• option
• opportunity
• limits
• Need

Which word best describes a specification?

• option
• requirement
• limits
• need

A scale model is a model that

• is a full scale, fully operational version of a design solution.
• is made of the same materials as the final product
• is made after the final product is made
• is a model that is either smaller or larger, but in direct proportion to the final product.

A prototype is a model that

• is a full scale, fully operational version of a design solution.
• is made of the same materials as the final product
• is made after the final product is made
• is a model that is either smaller or larger than the final product.

When finding the solution to an engineering problem, there is/are usually 

• only one possible correct solution
• a very limited number of possible correct solutions
• many possible correct solutions
