The correct order of the Engineering Design Process steps are:
Plan, Imagine, Ask, Create, Improve
Create, Ask, Plan, Imagine, Improve
Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, Improve
Ask, Improve, Plan, Create, Imagine
What do you do in the PLAN step of the EDP?
In this step students actually create their first design within the time limits and do their first test.
In this step students brainstorm solutions for the problem and conduct research to gain background knowledge.
In this step students ask what the problem is they are trying to solve, list information they already know, and identify any constraints (limits) they will have.
In this step students draw a diagram of their design, list the materials they will use, and list the steps they will take to create it.
What do you do in the ASK step of the EDP?
In this step students ask what the problem is they are trying to solve, list information they already know, and identify any constraints (limits) they will have.
In this step students brainstorm solutions for the problem and conduct research to gain background knowledge.
In this step students actually create their first design within the time limits and do their first test.
In this step students present their design to the class discussing successes, failures, and improvements.
What do you do in the IMAGINE step of the EDP?
In this step students present their design to the class discussing successes, failures, and improvements.
In this step students draw a diagram of their design, list the materials they will use, and list the steps they will take to create it.
In this step students brainstorm solutions for the problem and conduct research to gain background knowledge.
In this step students learn from their mistakes to make improvements and then test it again (they may do this many times).
What do you do in the IMPROVE step of the EDP?
In this step students brainstorm solutions for the problem and conduct research to gain background knowledge.
In this step students actually create their first design within the time limits and do their first test.
In this step students learn from their mistakes to make improvements and then test it again (they may do this many times).
In this step students present their design to the class discussing successes, failures, and improvements.
What do you do in the CREATE step of the EDP?
In this step students actually create their first design within the time limits and do their first test.
In this step students draw a diagram of their design, list the materials they will use, and list the steps they will take to create it.
In this step students learn from their mistakes to make improvements and then test it again (they may do this many times).
In this step students ask what the problem is they are trying to solve, list information they already know, and identify any constraints (limits) they will have.
