Exploring the Engineering Design Process

What is the primary role of engineers?

• Teaching science

• Creating designs to solve problems

• Writing research papers

• Conducting experiments

Which type of engineer deals with airplanes and rocket ships?

• Aerospace Engineer

• Chemical Engineer

• Civil Engineer

• Biomedical Engineer

What do biomedical engineers work on?

• Prosthetics and disease diagnosis

• Bridges and roads

• Airplanes and rockets

• Power stations

Which type of engineer is responsible for coding and programming?

• Electrical Engineer

• Mechanical Engineer

• Civil Engineer

• Computer and Software Engineer

What is the first step in the engineering design process?

• Designing a solution

• Identifying the problem

• Brainstorming ideas

• Testing and evaluating

During the brainstorming stage, what is important to do?

• Select the best idea immediately

• Build a full-size model

• Be open-minded and collaborate

• Think about cost and safety

What should be considered during the design phase?

• Just the materials

• Only the cost

• Only the safety

• Materials, cost, and safety

What is a prototype?

• A full-size final model

• A smaller to scale version of the final design

• An idea that is not built

• A theoretical concept

What is the goal of the testing and evaluating step?

• To finalize the design

• To create a new problem

• To see if the design solves the problem

• To brainstorm new ideas

What should engineers do if their design doesn't work the first time?

• Ignore the problem

• Blame the materials

• Try again and make improvements

• Give up
