What is a constraint?

• How big the drawing is

• Limitations like time, money, and materials

• The prototype

• Solution Step

What step do you make improvements to the prototype/design to find the best solution to the problem.

• 1. 
     Define the Problem

• 1. Engineering Design Process

• 2. Engineering

• 1. Redesign/Refine

During which step of the Engineering Design Process do you test your design choice or draw a detailed sketch?

• Identify The Problem

• Research & Explore

• Select an Approach

• Prototype

The engineering design process is ___________________.

• 1. 
     a process that has two steps

• 1. a quick process

• 1. an iterative process (a process that is repeated until solution is found).

• 1. a process with no beginning and no end

The first thing to do in the Engineering Design Process is to __________________.

• test a solution

• design a solution

• build a prototype

• ask questions

After a team defines the problem and its criteria and constraints, what is the next step in the engineering design process?

• Generate solution ideas

• Build a prototype

• Test and improve designs

• Communicate ideas

After constructing a prototype, what is the next step in the engineering design process?

• Communicate ideas

• Generate solution ideas

• Define the problem

• Test and improve designs

What should a team do if their first prototype is not entirely successful?

• Give up entirely

• Improve the design solution

• Start over with a different design

• Try it again the exact same way

The Engineering Design Process steps are:
1.) Define the Problem
2.) Generate Solution Ideas

3.) Build and Prototype

4.) Test and Improve Designs

5.) ______________

• Communicate ideas

• Test the prototype again

• Identify a new problem

• Generate new solution ideas

What do engineers do?

• Drive trains

• Solve problems with new ideas

• The same thing as scientists
