Engineering Design Process

You begin to create a prototype of your design only to find that your solution isn't working at all. What should you do?

• Add more tape
• Go back to an earlier stage and choose another solution
• Blame your partner
• Keep going and hope you can salvage your design

When finding the solution to an engineering problem, there is/are usually... 

• Only one possible correct solution
• A very limited number of possible correct solutions
• Many possible correct solutions
• No possible correct solutions

The only way to know if a design will work in real-world conditions is to build a model, or prototype, based on the plan. This is part of which step in the Design Process?

• Plan
• Imagine
• Create
• Improve

You try, you fail
you try, you fail
you try, you fail
It's OK if you fail as long as you keep doing this step in the engineering design process...

• Imagine
• Quit
• Improve
• Create 

Ms. Bloom wants to build a tower with her team.  They have already asked a question. If following the engineering design process what's the next step? 

• Create
• Plan
• Improve
• Imagine 

This diagram is an example of what step in the engineering design process? 

• Create
• Imagine
• Plan 
• Improve 

In the engineering design process, after you plan, what's next?

• Create
• Improve
• Imagine
• Ask

What is the main goal of the design process?

• To write reports
• To make things
• To make charts and graphs
• To find solutions to problems

What order do the steps of the Design Process go in?

• Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, Improve, Communicate
• Imagine, Ask, Plan, Improve, Create, Communicate
• Ask, Plan, Create, Imagine, Improve, Communicate
• Ask, Improve, Communicate, Brainstorm, Create, Plan

When they're trying to solve a problem, engineers follow a series of _____

• steps
• problems
• solutions
• tests
