What order do the steps of the Design Process go in?

• ask, brainstorm, plan, evaluate, explain
• brainstorm, ask, plan, evaluate, explain
• ask, plan, brainstorm, evaluate, explain
• ask, evaluate, explain, brainstorm, plan

What is the main goal of the design process?

• To write reports
• To make things
• To make charts and graphs
• To find solutions to problems

In the engineering design process, after you plan, what's the next step?

• Create

• Improve

• Imagine

• Ask

You try, you fail

you try, you fail

you try, you fail

It's OK if you fail as long as you keep doing this step in the engineering design process...

• Quit

• Improve
