Engineering Design Process Descriptors

In which step of the design process do you compare various ideas and select the best approach?

• Identify the problem

• Build a prototype

• Test and evaluate

• Brainstorm

Which step of the design process involves sharing the results of your tests?

• Brainstorm

• Research

• Communiate

• Redesign

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 of the design process?

• Identify the problem

• Redesign the prototype

• Communicate the results

• Test and evaluate

What is the step of the Engineering Design Process where you ask questions about a problem or need that exists.

• Identify the problem

• Research

• Design

• Build a prototype

A small group of people start sharing ideas. Some ideas may seem silly, but all suggestions are written down for consideration. This activity is part of which step of the Engineering Design Process?

• Communicate the results

• Research

• Brainstorm

• Identify the problem

During which step of the design process do you experiment with a prototype determining conditions and collecting/recording data?

• Build a prototype

• Design a prototype

• Brainstorming

• Test and evaluate

During which step of the Engineering Design Process would the designer review the design criteria and make adjustments to the original plan if necessary? In this step the designer would create the emendation of the final solution.

• Redesign

• Communicate the results

• Test and evaluate

• Identify the problem

In which step of the design process would you give an oral presentation with visual aids such as a slideshow, model, example prototype, etc.

• Research

• Brainstorm a solution

• Communicate the results

• Design the prototype

The only way to know if a design will work in real conditions is to build a model or prototype based on the plan. This is part of which step of the design process?

• Identify the problem

• Test and evauate

• Brainstorm

• Build the prototype

During which step of the process would the specific constraints and requirements of the challenge be identified?

• Research

• Identify the problem

• Design the prototype

• Build the prototype
