Engineering Design Process

The last step of the engineering design process is to share your solution to your problem. What are different ways you can communicate your results.

• presentation

• poster

• demonstratioin

• all of the above

Two students were talking about how to mix materials to make a good play dough. The girl said they could mix flour and water. The boy said they could mix salt, flour, and water. They thought of more ideas, too. Which step of the Engineering Desing Process were they working on?

• Identify the problem

• Explore

• Build

• Improve

Two students were trying a small helicopter together. They attached blades to the top and made them spin. They then released the prototype helicopter from the top of a building to watch it fly. Which step of the engineering process were they working on?

• Design

• Test

• Improve

• Share

Why is it important to identify the criteria and constraints of a project before building and testing a prototype?

• So that the prototype will be the right size

• so that you do not go over budget

• so that it will solve the problem
