Total questions: 8
Worksheet time: 4mins
Which phase of the Engineering Design Process focuses on identifying the design requirements (criteria) and limits (constraints) while considering user needs and implications of the solution?
Investigate
Frame
Plan
Evaluate
In the Investigate phase, what do students primarily do to explore the problem?
Sketch a final plan and list materials
Creatively generate many solutions
Conduct research, experiments, or build models
Decide on one design using team input
Select all activities that belong to the Brainstorm phase of the Engineering Design Process.
Independently and collaboratively generate multiple possible solutions
Test the solution against performance criteria
Narrow ideas to choose one design
Consider constraints and user needs
Match each phase to its main purpose.
Plan
Choose one design and list materials
Create
Build the chosen solution
Test
Collect quantitative and qualitative data on performance
Evaluate
Analyze data to identify improvements
Which statement best describes the goal of the Test phase?
Compare multiple designs to decide which to improve
Gather data to determine how the design performed against criteria
Generate as many solution ideas as possible
Identify requirements and constraints from different perspectives
After teams analyze their data and identify opportunities for improvement, which phase do they enter to refine their technology by repeating the process?
Iterate Cycle
Investigate
Create
Brainstorm
Which sequence of three phases correctly shows how teams move from ideas to a tested product?
Frame → Evaluate → Create
Brainstorm → Plan → Create
Investigate → Test → Brainstorm
Plan → Iterate Cycle → Test
Refer to the circular diagram of the Engineering Design Process with seven labeled phases surrounding "The Goal." Which label indicates the phase where teams compare multiple designs by going through the process again?
Evaluate
Iterate
Plan
Investigate
