The first step in the Engineering Design Process is:
Construct and Test a Prototype
Define the Problem
Develop a Solution
Present the Solution
A student team is designing a device to reduce water waste. They brainstorm ideas and create rough sketches. Which design process step are they in?
Define the Problem
Generate Concepts
Evaluate Solution
Present the Solution
True or False: Iteration (repeating steps of the design process) is common and encouraged in engineering.
TRUE
FALSE
Which of the following is NOT part of a good problem statement?
Identifies the need or problem
Lists who is affected
Includes specific solutions
States the criteria and constraints
A prototype is best described as:
A final market-ready product
A test model built to evaluate a design
A list of criteria and constraints
A finished drawing
In a design team, one member dominates all discussions. What is the best strategy to ensure effective teamwork?
Let the member lead since they are confident
Encourage equal participation from all members
Ignore them and move on with your own work
Vote them off the team
Which of the following is a benefit of teamwork in engineering design?
Faster solutions without mistakes
More diverse ideas and perspectives
Everyone always agrees
Fewer design iterations
True or False: Conflict in a design team is always negative and should be avoided.
TRUE
FALSE
When team members record meeting notes, assign roles, and follow deadlines, they are practicing:
Team Norms
Brainstorming
Iteration
Documentation
Scenario: A team disagrees on which concept to prototype. What would be the best next step?
Choose randomly to save time
Use a decision matrix to evaluate options
Let the leader decide alone
Drop the project
