The Engineering Design Process is best described as:
A random sequence of trial-and-error attempts
A systematic, iterative series of steps engineers use to solve problems
A set of rules to follow without changes
A single solution guaranteed to work every time
To Create in engineering means:
Copying another design exactly
Bringing something new into existence through design or invention
Taking apart an old product
Writing down someone else’s idea
Creativity in engineering refers to:
The ability to memorize facts quickly
The ability to think of original and innovative ideas
The skill of reading instructions carefully
The act of repairing broken machines
Collaboration in engineering means:
Working alone on a design
Competing to see who has the best idea
Working together in teams to achieve a shared goal
Keeping ideas secret until the end
Research is the process of:
Guessing the best possible solution
Collecting and analyzing information to guide design decisions
Drawing sketches only
Making a prototype immediately
Resources in engineering include:
Only tools and machines
Time, money, people, materials, and equipment needed to complete a project
Just raw materials
Instructions given by the teacher
Critical Thinking involves:
Accepting information without question
Analyzing and evaluating information to make reasoned decisions
Memorizing steps of the design process
Copying solutions from others
Analytical Thinking is defined as:
Using logic and reasoning to break problems into smaller parts
Thinking emotionally about problems
Ignoring data and focusing on opinions
Solving problems without evidence
To Define the Problem means:
Building the first prototype
Identifying and clearly stating the need or challenge
Testing multiple solutions at once
Writing a final report
Brainstorm means:
Criticizing other people’s ideas
Quickly generating as many ideas as possible without judgment
Selecting only one solution immediately
Listing only the teacher’s preferred solution
A Prototype is:
The final market-ready product
A preliminary working model used to test ideas
A rough sketch of a possible solution
A list of materials needed
To Test a prototype means:
Destroying it to see what happens
Trying it out under conditions to see if it works as intended
Drawing it from multiple views
Ignoring its performance
To Evaluate a design means:
Making changes at random
Judging how well a solution meets requirements and constraints
Finishing the project quickly
Accepting the first idea
To Improve a design means:
Adding unnecessary features
Modifying and refining to make the solution better
Starting over completely
Ignoring test results
Design in engineering refers to:
A random idea with no plan
A plan or drawing produced to show the look and function of a product
The final production model only
A single-use prototype
A Solution in engineering is:
The problem being studied
A method or product that successfully meets design requirements
An unrelated idea
A list of random guesses
Records in engineering are:
Notes, logs, or documentation kept during a project
Songs engineers listen to while working
Blueprints only
Only final presentations
Sketches are:
Detailed technical CAD models
Quick, simple drawings used to capture ideas visually
Only computer-generated designs
Written notes without images
Drawings in engineering typically mean:
Artistic portraits
Technical or engineering illustrations showing dimensions and views
Comic strips
Diagrams with no labels
An Assembly refers to:
A school meeting in the gym
A group of parts put together to make a final product
A written list of design ideas
Brainstorming solutions
A Bill of Materials (BOM) is:
A set of rules for machine safety
A detailed list of all materials and parts required for a project
A schedule of meetings for the team
A design sketch
A Model in engineering is:
A scaled or simplified version used to test or demonstrate a design
A person who poses for photos
The final product sold to customers
A single sketch
To Identify in engineering means:
Pointing randomly to an object
Recognizing and naming a problem, variable, or element in the design
Ignoring details in a design
Selecting the cheapest material
Technical refers to:
Relating to specialized skills, methods, or knowledge in a field
Only physical labor
Sports and athletics
Creative writing
To Communicate in engineering means:
Keeping project information private
Sharing results, designs, or processes clearly with others
Making hand gestures only
Talking without documentation
Iterative design means:
A one-time process with no changes
A repetitive cycle of designing, testing, and improving
Guessing until the project works
Skipping tests and going straight to production
Background research is:
Music played while brainstorming
Information gathered before starting a design to understand the context
Final design documentation
Drawings only
An Idea in engineering is:
A thought, suggestion, or concept that may lead to a solution
A guaranteed finished product
A random guess without purpose
A copy of an old design
Teams in engineering are important because:
They allow one person to do all the work
They combine diverse skills and perspectives to solve problems
They reduce the need for communication
They always agree on the first idea
Engineering is best defined as:
The art of storytelling
The application of science and math to design solutions that solve real-world problems
The act of building without planning
Guesswork that creates products
Mass Production is defined as:
Creating one unique, custom-made item
Manufacturing products in large quantities using standardized processes
Building prototypes for testing only
Producing goods by hand with no machines
