Engineering Design Process Worksheet

Engineering lesson 3: The engineering design process · Set 105 · 40 questions

Engineer's tip (Ask, imagine, plan, create, test, improve): Ask (problem, users, limits) → Imagine (many ideas) → Plan (diagram, materials). Create (build a prototype) → Test (measure) → Improve (fix and retest). It is a loop: after Improve, test again.

1. 1.True or false: to follow the plan to build is the Create step. (a) False (b) True
2. 2.🔢 To follow the engineering design process, which comes first: “Imagine” or “Plan”? (a) Imagine (b) Plan
3. 3.🔄 After testing, a design does not work well. What comes next? (a) Improve (b) Ask (c) give up (d) Imagine
4. 4.🔄 Is the engineering design process done only once? (a) no, it repeats (b) only for big jobs (c) yes, only once (d) only on Sundays
5. 5.🔢 To follow the engineering design process, which is the LAST step? (a) Test (b) Plan (c) Improve (d) Create

15. 15.Which of these happens in the Improve step? (a) make it better, retest (b) list the materials (c) ask who will use it (d) find the limits
16. 16.🔢 To follow the engineering design process, what comes right after “Ask”? (a) Imagine (b) Create (c) Improve (d) Test
17. 17.Which of these happens in the Plan step? (a) make a prototype (b) draw a labelled diagram (c) ask who will use it (d) measure its performance
