If an engineer is drawing a robot, which step of the design process are they most likely doing?

• Ask

• Imagine

• Plan

• Test

Why is it important for engineers to use the design process?

Match each response with the appropriate action to take if your design doesn’t work the first time.

• Make no changes to the design

• Do nothing

• Begin a different design from scratch

• Start a new project

• Stop working on the design completely

• Give up

• Work on making the design better

• Try to improve it
