Technological Design Process

What is the first stage in the Technological Design Process

• Define a problem
• Research
• Concept
• Construction

Do major companies love to jump right in and start building without a concept drawing?

• Yes, they want keep ahead of schedule.
• Yes, who needs to know what's being built.
• No, companies will not invest any money without a concept drawing.
• No, but it's not that important.

How many trials or tests should you complete?

• 1 or 2
• 3
• as many as needed until the problem is solved
• as many as they tell me to do.

What does modification mean in the design process?

• changes to prototype
• changes to the design
• changes to concept drawing
• all apply

An engineer has designed and built a prototype to improve the brake system of a car. What is the next step that the engineer should take in the process?

• Test the prototype.
• Make sketches of the prototype.
• Identify constraints.
• Collect and analyze the test results. 

Jacob has noticed that when he opens his bedroom door, the doorknob hits the wall. He decides to design a device to absorb the force of the opening door. He has identified the problem. What is the next step in his design process?

• Evaluate the design.
• Research
• Brainstorm solutions. 
• Sketch a possible prototype.

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

• Test and Evaluate
• Imagine
• Improve
• Share Results

Who is responsible for creating the Blueprints?

• Engineer
• Operator
• Researcher
• Mr. Bodley

When finding a solution to the design problem there is/are usually

• only one possible solution
• a very limited number of solutions
• many possible solutions
• I already know the answer
