Engineering Design Process Quiz

Liam, Abigail, and Maya are part of a team participating in a school science fair. They are tasked with creating a new device. What should be their first step in the engineering design process?

• Brainstorm possible solutions for the device

• Gather materials and resources for building the device

• Identify the problem or need that the device will address

• Test and evaluate the solution for the device

During a group project, Emma, Arjun, and Liam are trying to come up with a solution for a complex problem. Which step involves them generating multiple ideas to solve the problem?

• Daydreaming

• Procrastinating

• Brainstorming

• Copying someone else's solution

Aiden, Benjamin, and Luna are working on a school project to design a model bridge. What are the limitations or factors they must consider during their design process called?

• Constraints

• Possibilities

• Advantages

• Opportunities

James, Abigail, and Evelyn are working on a project. Which step involves them testing the design of their project and evaluating its performance?

• Implementation

• Analysis

• Testing

• Evaluation

Daniel, Noah, and Evelyn are working on a project. After testing and evaluating their design, what is the next step they should take?

• Implementing the design

• Scrapping the design

• Starting over with a new design

• Ignoring the test results and proceeding with the original design

Ava, Scarlett, and Liam are part of an engineering team working on a new project. What is the purpose of problem identification in their engineering design process?

• To define and understand the problem that needs to be solved in their project.

• To complicate the problem further in their project

• To ignore the problem in their project

• To create more problems in their project

Aria, Evelyn, and Benjamin are working on a project. They have received feedback and are now looking to improve their project based on the feedback. Which step involves refining the design of their project based on the evaluation results?

• Iteration

• Redesign

• Implementation

• Testing

Mason, Abigail, and Daniel are working on a project for their engineering class. Why would they use brainstorming during their design process?

• To limit the number of ideas they generate.

• To narrow down the possibilities for their project.

• To discourage creativity among the team.

• To generate a wide range of ideas and solutions for their project.

Ava, Jackson, and Noah are working on a school project to design a model bridge. What is the purpose of design constraints in their engineering design process?

• To provide guidelines for their design process.

• To limit the scope of their design process.

• To define limitations and requirements for their design process.

• To ensure creativity and innovation in their design process.

James, Olivia, and Rohan are working on a school project to design a model bridge. What is the purpose of them testing and evaluating their design?

• To waste time and resources

• To ensure their bridge design meets specifications and functions correctly

• To make their bridge design more complicated

• To delay the project completion
