Engineering Design Process Worksheet

Engineering lesson 3: The engineering design process · Set 213 · 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.Which of these happens in the Imagine step? (a) make it better, retest (b) redesign after testing (c) brainstorm many ideas (d) draw a labelled diagram
2. 2.🔄 Which design-process step is it to dream up possible fixes? (a) Imagine (b) Ask (c) Improve (d) Test
3. 3.True or false: to find the limits is the Ask step. (a) True (b) False
4. 4.🔢 To follow the engineering design process, what comes right after “Test”? (a) Imagine (b) Create (c) Improve (d) Ask

17. 17.True or false: to redesign after testing is the Ask step. (a) False (b) True
18. 18.True or false: to try it out is the Test step. (a) True (b) False
