What is the first step in the scientific method?

• Formulating a hypothesis

• Conducting an experiment

• Making an observation

• Analyzing data

Which of the following is a key difference between the engineering design process and the scientific method?

• The engineering design process focuses on creating solutions, while the scientific method focuses on understanding phenomena.

• The scientific method involves prototyping, while the engineering design process does not.

• The engineering design process is used only in mechanical engineering, while the scientific method is used in all sciences.

• The scientific method requires teamwork, while the engineering design process is done individually.

In the engineering design process, what is the purpose of the 'imagine' step?

• To test the prototype

• To brainstorm possible solutions

• To identify the problem

• To evaluate the final product
