Engineering Design Process Quiz

What is the primary goal of the Engineering Design Process?

• To create a perfect product

• To solve a specific problem

• To reduce production costs

• To ensure mass production

Which of the following best describes the "Define the Problem" step?

Which step involves gathering information and conducting research on existing solutions?

• Define the problem

• Generate concepts

• Develop a solution

• Test and evaluate

What is the purpose of brainstorming?

• To refine a solution

• To come up with as many ideas as possible without judgment

• To test a solution

• To prioritize solutions based on constraints

What is a constraint in the Engineering Design Process?

• A possible solution

• A limitation or restriction

• A suggestion for improvement

• A concept that must be evaluated

What happens after generating multiple concepts in the design process?
