If your initial design doesn't fully solve the problem or meet the challenge, you must go back and revise your plan. This is part of which step in the Design Process?

• Create a Model

• Redesign and Reflect

• Identify Problems

• Plan Solutions

You begin to create a prototype of your design only to find that your solution isn't working at all. What should you do?

• Add more tape

• Go back to an earlier stage and choose another solution

• Blame your partner

• Keep going and hope it will be ok

A group of engineers designed and constructed a flying car prototype. Their goal is for the car to enable people to safely fly to and from work instead of getting stuck in traffic jams.  
How will the engineers determine that this prototype meets their design requirements?

• Have a test pilot attempt to fly it from one location to another.

• See if the car can hover one meter above the ground for 20 minutes.

• Drive in the car at highway speeds on an interstate roadway at nighttime.
