Engineering Design Process

What is the first step in the engineering process?

• Define the problem

• Develop a solution

• Build a prototype

• Evaluate the solutions

What is the purpose of doing research in the engineering process?

• To find existing solutions to the problem

• To design the solution

• To build a prototype

• To evaluate the solutions

What is the purpose of building a prototype?

• To define the problem

• To develop a solution

• To test the design

• To evaluate the solutions

What is the last step in the engineering process?

• Define the problem

• Develop a solution

• Build a prototype

• Evaluate the solutions

What is the purpose of evaluating the solutions?

• To define the problem

• To develop a solution

• To build a prototype

• To improve the design

What is a prototype?

• Model

• Question

• Idea

• Research

After you brainstorm all the possible solution to your problem, what is the next step?

• Define the Problem

• Communicate

• Select the Plan

• Prototype

It is best to brainstorm by yourself so you can come up with a lot of great ideas and no one else helps you.

• True

• False

You should only test your prototype one time to make sure it works correctly.

• True

• False

A set of steps engineers follow to complete the design of an object or idea is called the

• The Scientific Method

• The Engineering Design Process
