Engineering design

Which is the first step in the design process?

• Testing
• Brainstorming
• Defining the problem
• Creating prototypes

What is the purpose of brainstorming in the design process?

• To create the final product
• To generate multiple ideas and solutions
• To evaluate feedback
• To print the design

Which activity helps refine a design before finalising it?

• Ignoring feedback
• Conducting tests and seeking feedback
• Printing the first prototype
• Skipping the evaluation phase

Why is it important to identify limitations during the design process?

• To make the process faster
• To understand any restrictions and requirements

• To skip unnecessary steps
• To avoid creating a prototype

What is an essential component of the testing phase?

• Printing the design without changes
• Getting feedback and making improvements
• Ignoring errors found during testing
• Skipping the peer review

In the 3D printing assignment, why was it important to create digital prototypes?

• To skip the brainstorming step
• To test the design virtually before printing
• To directly proceed to the final print
• To avoid seeking feedback

Why should you seek peer feedback in the 3D printing project?

• To find flaws and improve the design

• To skip the testing phase
• To see if it looked good

• To see if it was popular

Why is it important to consider what something will be used for in a product design?

• To ensure the product is expensive
• To make the product usable for the target audience
• To simplify the design process
• To ignore feedback

If you were asked to design a bridge, what would be the first step?

• Start building it immediately
• Define the problem and understand the requirements
• Choose materials

• Testing the final structure

Why might it be important to consider the weight a bridge can hold?

• To determine the strength and materials needed
• To decide the colour of the bridge
• To make it look good
• To avoid planning
