When designing a product, which of the following factors must be considered to ensure the design is successful?

• Safety

• Cost

• Aesthetics

• Fit for purpose

• All of the above

The design process has no specific end point. Why is it important that the process keeps going?

• It lets designers focus on only one part at a time.

• It means that once a product is made, no changes are needed.

• It helps designers keep improving and fixing the product by going back to different steps.

• It makes the design process harder and takes more time.

Which of the following is the safest way to test an electrical circuit in your design?

• Use your bare hands to connect the wires.

• Test the circuit in a dry area with insulated tools.

• Connect the circuit while standing in water.

• Use metal tools to adjust the circuit while it’s powered on.

Why is it important to consider both renewable and non-renewable energy sources in the design process?

• To ensure that the product is cheap to produce.

• To understand the long-term impact of the product on the environment.

• To make the product look more appealing.

• To make sure the product works quickly.

Why is **evaluation** important in the design process?

• It allows designers to celebrate the completion of the product.

• It helps identify and fix problems before the product is finalized.

• It lets designers skip other stages of the design process.

• It ensures the product is produced as quickly as possible.
