1.

What is the first step in the engineering design process?

a)

Define the problem, then identify criteria and constraints

b)

Communicate the solution to others

c)

Test and evaluate the solution

d)

Brainstorm possible solutions

2.

What does the 'ask the right the problem' step involve?

a)

Clearly understanding and articulating the problem or challenge

b)

Gathering data and information

c)

Identifying potential solutions

d)

Implementing the chosen solution

3.

Why is it important to brainstorm ideas during the engineering design process?

a)

To limit creativity and innovation, discourage collaboration, and hinder problem-solving and solution effectiveness.

b)

To explore multiple possibilities and perspectives, encourage creativity, collaboration, and innovation, and improve problem-solving and solution effectiveness.

c)

To focus on a single possibility and perspective, discourage creativity and collaboration, and hinder problem-solving and solution effectiveness.

d)

To avoid exploring possibilities and perspectives, discourage creativity and collaboration, and hinder problem-solving and solution effectiveness.

4.

What is the purpose of creating a prototype in the engineering design process?

a)

To test and evaluate the design before final production.

b)

To increase production costs

c)

To skip the testing phase

d)

To waste time and resources

5.

Why is it important to test and redesign during the engineering design process?

a)

To ignore potential problems

b)

To waste time and resources

c)

To maintain the status quo

d)

To identify and fix flaws or errors in the design and make necessary improvements.

6.

How does the engineering design process relate to real-world problem-solving?

a)

The engineering design process is only used in specific fields and is not applicable to all real-world problems.

b)

Real-world problem-solving does not require a systematic approach like the engineering design process.

c)

The engineering design process is only used in theoretical situations and does not apply to real-world problem-solving.

d)

The engineering design process is a systematic approach to problem-solving that is used in real-world situations.

7.

How can the engineering design process be applied to everyday life situations?

a)

By following a systematic approach to problem-solving

b)

By randomly trying different solutions without a plan.

c)

By ignoring the problem and hoping it goes away.

d)

By relying on intuition and gut feelings.

8.

Although “model” and “prototype” are often used interchangeably, they are

not the same. Choose two (2) statements that best describes a model and a prototype?

a)

A prototype is used to test different aspects of a product before the finalized design.

b)

A prototype is used to demonstrate or explain how a product will look or

function.

c)

A model is used to demonstrate or explain how a product will look or

function.

d)

A model is used to test different aspects of a product before the finalized design.
