Understanding the Engineering Design Process

What is the first step in the Engineering Design Process?

• Plan

• Ask

• Create

• Test

What do you do during the "Imagine" step of the Engineering Design Process?

• Build a prototype

• Brainstorm ideas

• Test your solution

• Redesign your product

What is a prototype?

• The final product

• The first working model of a design

• A list of materials

• A set of instructions

Which step involves drawing a diagram or blueprint?

• Plan

• Test

• Improve

• Ask

What are constraints in the Engineering Design Process?

• The goals you want to achieve

• The limitations or rules you must follow

• The materials you use

• The steps to build a product

What does "criteria" mean in the context of engineering design?

• The first model you build

• The specific goals a solution must meet

• The materials needed

• The problems you face

What is the purpose of the "Test" step in the Engineering Design Process?

• To brainstorm ideas

• To try out your solution and collect data

• To draw a blueprint

• To list materials

What does "Redesign" mean?

• Building the first model

• Making a new version after testing and improving

• Collecting data

• Brainstorming ideas

What is iterative testing?

• Testing only once

• Repeated testing to improve a product

• Drawing a diagram

• Listing constraints

Which of the following is NOT a step in the Engineering Design Process?

• Ask

• Imagine

• Decorate

• Plan
