Engineering Design Process_TECH

What is the 1st Step of the Engineering Design Process

• Define the Problem

• Brainstorm

• Research and Generate Ideas

• Redesign

What two things determine whether or not engineering solutions are successful? (select two answers)

• If it stays within the constraints

• If it looks cool

• How things are manufactured

• If it meets the criteria

During which step of the Design Process do you ask "What is the problem or need?" ?

• Define the Problem

• Do Background Research

• Specify Requirements

• Brainstorm Solutions

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

When generating a solution, a designer either uses a mock-up (model of design) or constructs ________________ (operating version of solution).

• drawing
• report
• design brief
• prototype

If your initial design doesn't fully solve the problem or meet the challenge, you must go back and revise your plan. This is part of which step in the Design Process?

• Create a Model

• Redesign

• Identify Problems

• Plan Solutions

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

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

• brainstormed, defined the problem, researched the problem, choose the best solution

• defined the problem, brainstormed, researched the problem, chose the best solution

• researched the problem, defined the problem, brainstormed, chose the best solution

You begin to create and test a prototype of your design only to find that your solution isn't working at all. What should you do?

• Add more tape

• Go back to an earlier stage and choose another solution

• Blame your partner

• Keep going and hope it will be ok

The process of generating ideas is_____________.

• brainstorming

• sketching

• prototyping

• re-testing
