Engineering lesson 3: The engineering design process · Set 308 · 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) define the problem (b) think of wild ideas (c) list the materials (d) find the limits
2. 2.True or false: to define the problem is the Ask step. (a) True (b) False
3. 3.Which of these happens in the Create step? (a) fix the weak part (b) measure its performance (c) follow the plan to build (d) think of wild ideas
4. 4.🔢 To follow the engineering design process, which is the LAST step? (a) Imagine (b) Test (c) Ask (d) Improve
5. 5.🔢 To follow the engineering design process, which comes first: “Create” or “Ask”? (a) Create (b) Ask

7. 7.Which of these happens in the Imagine step? (a) measure its performance (b) ask who will use it (c) dream up possible fixes (d) try it out

12. 12.True or false: to make a prototype is the Plan step. (a) True (b) False
13. 13.Which of these happens in the Plan step? (a) make a prototype (b) redesign after testing (c) check it against goals (d) list the materials

18. 18.🔢 To follow the engineering design process, which comes first: “Test” or “Improve”? (a) Improve (b) Test
19. 19.Which of these happens in the Ask step? (a) make a prototype (b) ask who will use it (c) make it better, retest (d) brainstorm many ideas
20. 20.🔄 Which design-process step is it to measure its performance? (a) Plan (b) Imagine (c) Create (d) Test
