What is the first step in the engineering design process?

• Identify the problem or need

• Brainstorm possible solutions

• Test and evaluate the solution

• Communicate the solution to others

Which subtopic involves identifying a problem or need that requires a solution?

• solution identification

• problem solving

• need assessment

• problem identification

What is the purpose of brainstorming in the engineering design process?

• To analyze data and make decisions.

• To generate ideas and solutions

• To evaluate existing ideas and solutions.

• To communicate design concepts to stakeholders.

Which subtopic involves generating multiple ideas and solutions?

• problem solving

• mind mapping

• brainstorming

• decision making

What is the purpose of prototyping in the engineering design process?

• To estimate the cost of production.

• To showcase the design to stakeholders.

• To test and evaluate the design before final production.

• To create a blueprint for the final product.

Which subtopic involves creating a physical or virtual model of a design?

• prototyping

• modeling

• simulation

• drafting

What is the purpose of testing in the engineering design process?

• To evaluate the performance, functionality, and reliability of a design or product.

• To determine the cost of production for a design or product.

• To gather feedback from customers on a design or product.

• To create a prototype for a design or product.

Which subtopic involves evaluating the performance and functionality of a design?

• design analysis

• design critique

• design evaluation

• design assessment

What is the purpose of iterative design in the engineering design process?

• To continuously refine and improve a design through multiple cycles of testing, evaluation, and modification.

• To skip the testing and evaluation phase and move directly to production.

• To quickly finalize a design without any further modifications.

• To limit the number of design cycles and save time and resources.

Which subtopic involves making improvements and refinements to a design based on feedback?
