EDP Review

Two students were talking about how to mix materials to make a good play dough. The girl said they could mix flour and water. The boy said they could mix salt, flour, and water. They thought of more ideas, too. Which step of the Engineering Desing Process were they working on?

• Identify the problem

• Explore

• Build

• Improve

If your class has dirty whiteboards and you need an automatic solution that would be simple and cheap, but the constraints are the high cost to make it. What is the meaning of the word constraints?

• to repeat

• prototype

• communicate

• limitations

Why is it important to identify the criteria and constraints of a project before building and testing a prototype?

• So that the prototype will be the right size

• so that you do not go over budget

• so that it will solve the problem

• All of the above

What is the First step of the Engineering Design Process?

• Ask

• Imagine/ Brainstorm

• Plan

• Test/Create

• Improve

What is the correct order for the first three steps of the engineering design process?

• Imagine, identify, plan

• Imagine, plan, identify

• Identify, imagine, plan

• Plan, identify, imagine

You need to design a clear water bottle that holds at least 16 ounces. What is an example of a CONTRAINT on the design?

• The bottle must hold at least 16 ounces

• The bottle must be made from clear material

• The bottle must cost less than 10 cents to produce

• The bottle can have any color label

What is the engineering design process used for

• To study something
• It's not used for anything
• To understand something
• To Create something or to Improve something.

Which describes the "Identify the Problem" part of the Engineering Design Process?

• Identification occurs when someone realizes that a problem exists that needs to be solved.

• Definition occurs when someone realizes exactly what the problem is.

• the requirements the solution must meet, such as what it must do.

• the limitations on the solution, such as a maximum size or budget.​

The process of understanding a problem, devising a plan, carrying out the plan, and evaluating the plan in order to solve a problem or meet a need or want.

• Brainstorming

• Investigate

• Problem Solving

• Evaluate

Is the first step in the design process. Includes the problem being identified, validated, and justified. The design requirements are determined and the design brief is created.

• prototype

• Valid

• define the problem

• present solution

• construct/test prototype
