Engineering Design Process Flashcard Review

Front

What defines any engineering problem?

Back

Criteria & constraints.

Front

Can you repeat steps in the design process?

Back

Yes, in the 'Need Any Changes?' phase.

Front

What is iteration in the engineering design process?

Back

Iteration is when you improve your prototype/design.

Front

What happens during the 3rd step of the Engineering Design Process?

Back

Brainstorm - Generate ideas for solutions.

Front

List the steps of the Engineering Design Process in order.

Back

1. Define the problem 2. Explore the research 3. Search for solutions 4. Illustrate the best idea 5. Give it a try! 6. Need any changes?

Front

What is the first step in the Engineering Design Process?

Back

Define the problem.

Front

Why is brainstorming important in the design process?

Back

It helps generate a variety of ideas and solutions.

Front

What are criteria in the context of engineering design?

Back

Criteria are the desired features or specifications that a solution must meet.

Front

What are constraints in engineering design?

Back

Constraints are the limitations or restrictions that must be considered in the design.

Front

How does prototyping fit into the engineering design process?

Back

Prototyping allows for testing and refining ideas before final implementation.
