Real-world engineering challenges are presented, showcasing the application of engineering principles to solve problems.

What is the primary role of an engineer?

• To write novels

• To teach mathematics

• To solve problems

• To create art

Which type of engineer is responsible for designing bridges?

• Civil Engineer

• Electrical Engineer

• Build a prototype

What is the purpose of building a prototype in the engineering process?

• To discard the idea

• To sell the product

• To finalize the design

• To test the design

Why is it important to define a problem specifically in engineering?

• To impress others

• To avoid solving it

• To make it sound more complex

• To ensure it can be solved

What is a variable in the context of engineering?

• A condition that can be changed

• A constant value

• A type of engineer

• A fixed outcome

Why do engineers change only one variable at a time during testing?

• To make it more challenging

• To confuse the process

• To save time

• To ensure the connection between variable and outcome

What was the challenge presented in the practical engineering section?
