• True

• False

It is best to brainstorm BY YOURSELF so you can come up with a lot of great ideas

• True

• False

A person CAN SELL a product that has a patent with permission from the patent holder.

• True

• False

Having access to UNLIMITED materials is an example of a constraint

• True

• False

1st Step of the Engineering Design Process

• Construct a prototype

• Research the problem

• Redisign

• Identify the problem

After Identifying the Problem, you should

• Developing possible solutions

• Research the problem

• Construct your prototype

• Brainstorm

Once your team does their research, you should then

• Brainstorm to develop ideas

• Gather your materials and construct the prototype

• Test and evaluate

• Select the best possible solution

Right before you Construct your Prototype, you will need to

• Brainstorm, develop possible solutions

• Communicate the solution

• Select the best solution

• Test and Evaluate

After you Select the best possible solution, you should

• Research

• Brainstorm for more ideas

• Redesign your prototype

• Construct your prototype

After building your prototype, in order to assess the success of the prototype, you will need to

• Communicate the design

• Iterate

• Test and evaluate

• Identify the problem
