Engineering Design Process Quiz

What is the first step of the Engineering Design Process?

• Imagine
• Plan
• Build
• Ask

Why is the ASK step considered the most important step?

• It helps the designer understand the problem to be solved
• It allows the designer to start building the product
• It lets the designer imagine all possible solutions
• It helps the designer create a plan

What happens during the IMAGINE step?

• The designer draws up plans and sketches
• The designer comes up with all possible solutions
• The designer builds a prototype
• The designer tests the product

What is a key purpose of the PLAN step?

• To determine the cost of the project
• To come up with unique design ideas
• To follow the rules and constraints of the project
• To build the first prototype

What happens if the product does not solve the original problem in the IMPROVE step?

• The engineers start over at the ASK step
• They declare the project a failure
• They move on to the next step in the process
• They celebrate the end of the project

What are 'constraints' in the Engineering Design Process?

• The tools and materials that can be used
• The steps that must be followed in order
• The rules and boundaries that the design must follow
• The problems that the design is intended to solve

What is the purpose of building prototypes in the Engineering Design Process?

• To show the final product to the customer
• To test and refine the design before building the final product
• To demonstrate the manufacturing process
• To get approval from stakeholders

How do engineers use the TEST step to improve their designs?

• By evaluating if the product meets the design requirements
• By identifying ways to make the product more visually appealing
• By determining the most cost-effective manufacturing process
• By confirming the product is ready to be mass produced

What is the purpose of the IMPROVE step in the Engineering Design Process?

• To finalize the product design
• To start building the final product
• To make changes and refinements to the design
• To get the product ready for mass production

What is the purpose of the PLAN step in the Engineering Design Process?

• To imagine all possible solutions to the problem
• To start building a prototype of the product
• To create drawings, sketches, and other plans for the design
• To test the final product and see if it meets requirements
