What is the very first step of the Engineering Process?
Designing the solution
Defining the problem
Building a prototype
Doing research
Which engineer was trying to solve the problem of expensive and slow communication in the 1800s?
Willis Carrier
Gustav Eiffel
Alfred Nobel
Alexander Graham Bell
Why do engineers do research before starting a design?
To see what other things already exist to solve the same problem
To find out how much money they will make
To build the final product immediately
To draw a picture of the invention
What was the specific problem Alfred Nobel wanted to solve when he invented dynamite?
He wanted to make bigger explosions for fun
He wanted a safer explosive for miners to use
He wanted to build a tower in France
He wanted to create a new way to send messages
What happens during the "Develop a Solution" step?
You build the real thing right away
You decide exactly how you think you can solve the problem
You sell the product to people
You ask for a refund on materials
Which step involves sketching out ideas, like bridges or towers, before they are built?
Research
Testing
Design
Evaluating
What is a prototype?
The final version of an invention
A simple model used to test out a design
A list of questions for research
A type of electrical wire
Why is building a prototype important?
It is always the biggest version of the product
It allows you to test the design to see if it works as wanted
It is only used if you have extra money
It is the very last step of the process
True or False: An engineer's prototype usually works perfectly on the first try.
True
False
What does "evaluating" your solution mean?
Selling the product in a store
Asking yourself if things are working the way you want and why
Building a model out of wood
Researching what other engineers did 100 years ago
What is the "Question Everything" step?
Defining the problem
Research
Design
Evaluating
If an engineer finds out their prototype isn’t working during the evaluation step, what should they do?
Give up and quit
Go back to earlier steps like design or building to fix it
Pretend it works and sell it anyway
Only do research for the rest of their career
Which engineer tested prototypes for years before perfecting the air conditioner?
Alexander Graham Bell
Willis Carrier
Alfred Nobel
Gustav Eiffel
Why is failure considered a good thing in the Engineering Process?
It means the engineer can go home early
It gives a chance to learn and improve on the original idea
It means the problem was too hard
It proves that research is not necessary
What are the three main examples of engineering success mentioned at the end of the video?
The computer, the car, and the airplane
The telephone, the air conditioner, and the Eiffel Tower
The lightbulb, the internet, and the rocket
The microwave, the television, and the bridge
