Engineering Design Process Quiz

Students are learning about the engineering design process and discussing each

step. The teacher explains each group member needs to understand what to do to

make their design successful and the limitations put on their design.

Which best describes this step in the engineering design process?

• Define the problem

• Brainstorm solutions

• Identify criteria and constraints

• Select a solution

Students were building their prototypes based on their initial design. The teacher

explained that after they finished building they should follow the next step in the

design process.

What should the students do after they have built their prototypes?

• redesign their prototype

• test and evaluate their prototype

• gather materials for their prototype

• generate a detailed design of their prototype
