Which step involves creating a detailed plan or drawing of the solution in the engineering design process?
Defining the problem
Researching
Developing a prototype
Designing a solution
What is the main goal of testing a prototype in the engineering design process?
To see if the solution works as intended
To create a new problem
To finalize the design
To communicate the results
Why is it important to communicate the results in the engineering design process?
To keep the process a secret
To share findings and improve future designs
To start a new project immediately
To avoid feedback
Which of the following is NOT a step in the engineering design process?
Defining the problem

What is the role of iteration in the engineering design process?
To ensure the process is completed only once
To refine and improve the design through repeated cycles
To avoid making any changes
To finalize the design without testing
Which step in the engineering design process involves gathering information about existing solutions and technologies?
