The Engineering Design Process

A plan produced to show what actually happens in an engineering task before something is built or made...

• solution process

• design process

• iterative process

• evaluation process

What step of the design process would you first specify and identify the criteria and constraints of need or problem?

• Identify the need or problem

• Research the need or problem

• Develop possible solution(s)

• Select the best possible solution

Which step of the design process where you explore and examine the current state of the issue via internet, library, interviews, etc.?

• Identify the need or problem

• Research the need or problem

• Develop possible solution(s)

• Select the best possible solution

What step of the design process would you brainstorm and generate ideas that best meets the original requirements?

• Develop possible solution(s)

• Construct a prototype

• Test and evaluate the solution(s)

• Communicate the solution(s)

Which step of the design process where you make a small scale model built to test a concept or process?

• Select the best possible solution(s)

• Construct a prototype

• Test and evaluate the solution(s)

• communicate the solution(s)

What step of the design process would you ask "Does it work?" or "Does it meet the original design constraints?"

• Construct a prototype

• Test and evaluate the solution(s)

• Communicate the solution(s)

• Redesign

Which step of the design process where you discuss how the results of your build best meets the initial problem or need?

• Construct a prototype

• Test and evaluate the solution(s)

• Communicate the solutions(s)

• Redesign

What step of the design process where you find some new problems, make changes, and test again before settling on a final design?

• Construct a prototype

• Test and evaluate the solution(s)

• Communicate the solution(s)

• 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

• If it solves a problem

• If it meets the criteria

What is the First Step of the Engineering Design Process

• Identify the Problem

• Brainstorm the Problem

• Construct a Prototype

• Test and Evaluate
