Engineering Design Process

What is the first step in the Engineering Design Process?

• Build a prototype

• Brainstorm Solutions

• Identify the problem

• Optimize the solution

An engineer has designed and built a prototype to improve the brake system of a car. What is the next step hat the engineer should take in the Engineering Design Process?

• identify criteria and constraints

• use a design matrix

• test the prototype

• optimize the solution

A prototype is a model that

• functions like the final solution would

• is made after the final product

• doesn't really work
