Engineer Design Process

Which step of the design process allows you to brainstorm multiple ideas and solutions?

• ask

• plan

• create

• imagine

What is the step in the Engineer Design Process where you identify a problem or need that exists?

• ask

• plan

• create

• imagine

If you're 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 Engineer Design Process?

• ask

• improve

• create

• communicate and share

The only way to know if a design will work in real-world conditions is to build a model or prototype based on a plan. Which step would this be?

• ask

• improve

• create

• communicate and share

It is important to create a detailed sketch/blueprint of your design ans ask for feedback. This happens during which step in the Engineer Design Process?

• plan

• improve

• create

• communicate and share

In which step would you communicate your results with other engineers using visual aids such as slideshows, models, prototypes, etc...

• plan

• improve

• imagine

• communicate and share

During which step of the Engineer Design Process do you perform experiments on your prototype in a controlled environment while recording data?

• plan

• test and evaluate

• ask

• communicate and share

What is the purpose of testing your prototype more than once?

• There is no purpose. I don't think you need to test and retest.

• To identify where improvements need to be made within the plan/design.

• The purpose is to start all over, because the group does't like the design.

• The purpose to figure out whose design is better than others.

A prototype is a model that....

• looks exactly like the final solution will, but doesn't function properly.

• is constructed with the exact same materials as the final solution.

• functions in exactly the same way as the final solution would.

• is model made for fun and will never be used to create a real-world model.

Which of the following best describes the word constraint?

• restriction

• opportunity

• option

• problem
