Back

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

Front

What is the first step in the Engineering Design Process?

Back

Ask: Identify the problem that needs to be solved.

Front

What is the second step in the Engineering Design Process?

Back

Imagine: Think of different ideas to solve the problem.

Front

What is the third step in the Engineering Design Process?

Back

Plan: Make a detailed plan of how to create the solution.

Front

What is the fourth step in the Engineering Design Process?

Back

Create: Build a prototype or model of the solution.

Front

What is the fifth step in the Engineering Design Process?

Back

Test: Try out the solution to see if it works.

Front

What is the sixth step in the Engineering Design Process?

Back

Improve: Make changes to the solution based on testing results.

Front

What does it mean to 'test' in the Engineering Design Process?

Back

To try out the solution to see if it solves the problem.

Front

What is a prototype?

Back

A working model of a solution that is built to test ideas.

Front

Why is it important to 'ask' questions in the Engineering Design Process?

Back

To understand the problem clearly before trying to solve it.
