The video uses the analogy of making tacos to explain the engineering design process. It starts with identifying a problem, researching requirements, brainstorming solutions, and creating a prototype. Testing and feedback lead to iterations and improvements. Finally, the solution is finalized and shared, demonstrating the complete design process.

What is the first step in the engineering design process?

• Testing prototypes

• Gathering feedback

• Defining a problem or need

• Brainstorming solutions

What should you consider when researching design requirements?

• None of the above

• Only the ingredients available

• Ingredients available, budget, time, number of people, dietary restrictions

• Just the budget and time
