Engineering Design Process

Front

What is the Engineering Design Process?

Back

A series of steps that engineers follow to come up with a solution to a problem.

Front

What are criteria in the context of engineering design?

Back

Criteria are the standards or requirements that a design solution must meet to be considered successful.

Front

What are constraints in engineering design?

Back

Constraints are limitations or restrictions that affect the design process, such as time, budget, or materials.

Front

What is the main job of engineers?

Back

To solve problems by applying scientific and mathematical principles.

Front

What type of engineer designs airplanes?

Back

Aerospace engineer.

Front

What is a prototype?

Back

A prototype is a working model of a design that is used to test and evaluate its effectiveness.

Front

Why is testing important in the engineering design process?

Back

Testing helps to identify flaws and areas for improvement in a design before final production.

Front

What is the purpose of brainstorming in the design process?

Back

To generate a wide range of ideas and solutions before narrowing them down.

Front

What does it mean to iterate in engineering design?

Back

To repeat a process with the aim of improving the design based on feedback and testing results.

Front

What is a design brief?

Back

A document that outlines the problem, criteria, and constraints for a design project.
