Which describes the "Identify the Problem" part of the Engineering Design Process?

a)

Identification occurs when someone realizes that a problem exists that needs to be solved.

the limitations on the solution, such as a maximum size or budget.

3.

Which describes the "test solutions" part of the Engineering Design Process?

a)

by thinking of possible solutions to the problem.
