Engineering Design Process

In engineering, the design process begins when...

• information about an existing product is gathered by an engineer.

• an engineering design team comes up with ideas for a new product.

• a design engineer recognizes the need for a solution to a problem.

• an engineering design team reflects on what works well & what to improve.

E.D.P. stands for Engineering _ Process

The 1st step in the Engineering Design Process is

• Create

• Develop a Plan

• Imagine a solution

• Ask Questions to determine need & define the problem.

In which step of the Engineering Design Process do you brainstorm ideas & discuss possibilities?

• Create

• Develop a Plan

• Imagine a solution

• Ask Questions to determine need & define the problem.

The Engineering Design Process is iterative which means it...

• can be repeated

• is useless

• is existential

• is for professional use only

Name the E.D.P. step in which you determine parts of the solution that worked well and areas that can work better. This is the _ stage.

Identifying the “target audience” occurs during which step of the Engineering Design Process?

• Ask the right Questions

  & Define the Problem.

• Develop a Plan.

• Make a list of necessary materials.

• Improve the design.

Engineers must understand the difference between requirements & constraints. Imagine a team of engineers is asked to design a pair of kids’ shoes for less than $20. They determine that the only way to manufacture shoes for this price is to use recycled materials. What is the team’s constraint?

• The shoes must be designed for kids.

• The shoes must be made out of recycled materials.

• The shoes must cost less than $20 to manufacture.

• Engineers must understand the difference between requirements & constraints.

During a brainstorming session we want to focus more on...

• Quality of ideas rather than quantity

• Quantity of ideas rather than quality.

The terms “model” and “prototype” are not the same thing.

A _ is used to test different aspects of a product before the design is finalized. It is not used to demonstrate or explain how a product will look or function. Type either model or prototype.
