Engineering Design Process

What is the primary purpose of the engineering design process?

• To quickly develop a single perfect product.

• To guide engineers in developing products and processes.

• To only focus on the financial aspects of a project.

• To eliminate all failures from the design phase.

What does it mean for the engineering design process to be "iterative"?

• Engineers only go through each step once.

• Engineers repeat steps multiple times to refine solutions.

• The process is only used for very complex problems.

• It requires engineers to work alone.

What is the initial step in the engineering design process?

• Building a prototype.

• Brainstorming solutions.

• Starting with empathy and defining the problem.

• Testing the final product.

What is the main goal during the brainstorming phase of the design process?

• To select the most realistic solution.

• To come up with many creative ideas.

• To immediately build a prototype.

• To identify all possible constraints.

What do engineers do after building and testing prototypes?

• They immediately launch the product.

• They learn from failures and improve the design.

• They discard all previous ideas.

• They stop the design process.
