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 comes after 'Ask' in the Engineering Design Process?

Back

Imagine: Brainstorm ideas and think of possible solutions.

Front

What is the third step in the Engineering Design Process?

Back

Plan: Create a detailed plan for how to build 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 prototype to see if it works.

Front

What is the final step in the Engineering Design Process?

Back

Improve: Make changes based on testing results to enhance the design.

Front

What does 'constraints' mean in the Engineering Design Process?

Back

Limits or restrictions that must be considered when designing a solution.

Front

What does 'criteria' mean in the Engineering Design Process?

Back

The goals or standards that the solution must meet.

Front

Why is it important to identify the problem first?

Back

It helps to focus the design efforts on finding a specific solution.
