Two students were trying a small helicopter together. They attached blades to the top and made them spin. They then released the prototype helicopter from the top of a building to watch it fly. Which step of the engineering process were they working on?

If your class has dirty whiteboards and you need an automatic solution that would be simple and cheap, but the constraints are the high cost to make it. What is the meaning of the word constraints?

In order to test a new design, engineering teams need to create ___.

After testing a prototype, things need to be changed to make it better. Which step in the design process is this?

In some cases prototypes need changes and modifications with each iteration. What is the meaning of the word iteration?

In which step of the engineering design process do we begin to iterate?

Every solution begins by clearly defining the problem/challenge. To do this we _____.

In engineering, what does it mean to make a model?

The last step of the engineering design process is to share your solution to your problem. What are different ways you can communicate your results.

Why is it important to identify the criteria and constraints of a project before building and testing a prototype?

Why do engineers improve their designs?

A small group of people start sharing ideas. Some ideas may seem silly, but all suggestions are written down for further consideration. This activity is part of which step of the Design Process
