Engineering Design Process

An engineer is designing a phone case and they want it to withstand a drop of 10 feet. Being able to withstand a drop of 10 feet would be a

• Criteria

• Constraint

An engineer is trying to design a phone case, but only has two months to do so. Having two months would be a

• Criteria

• Constraint

What do you think an engineer should do if their solution does not meet the criteria or constraints?

• Nothing, the solution should stay unchanged.

• Go back and modify the solution to better meet the criteria and constraints.

• Choose a different problem to solve that is not based on society's needs.

• Give up completely and forget about society's needs.

Engineers realize that their prototype does not work after testing it several times. What must they do next?

• Make iterations or improvements

• Communicate the Design

• Select the Plan

• Test it more

According to the Engineering Design Process...

• You can do whatever you want

• You are always right

• You are always wrong

• Making mistakes is ok

What should you do after you Identify the Problem?

• Improve the Prototype

• Make a Prototype

• Research the Problem

• Test the Prototype

Which step of the Engineering Design Process has you build a model based on a plan?

• Brainstorm

• Prototype

• Define the Problem

• Test

What is the first step in the Engineering Design Process?

• Select the Plan

• Define the Problem

• Communicate

• Test

What step of the Engineering Design Process do you talk about different ideas?

• Brainstorm

• Define the Problem

• Prototype

• Test

What are the "criteria" in the Engineering Design Process?

• All the factors that will not work

• All the factors that make the solution expensive

• All the factors that limit the solution

• All the factors the solution must have
