Engineering lesson 3: The engineering design process · Set 40 · 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 Improve step? (a) make a prototype (b) make it better, retest (c) measure its performance (d) try it out
2. 2.Which of these happens in the Test step? (a) check it against goals (b) think of wild ideas (c) build the model (d) list the materials
3. 3.🔄 Which design-process step is it to fix the weak part? (a) Create (b) Improve (c) Ask (d) Imagine
4. 4.🔢 To follow the engineering design process, which comes first: “Create” or “Ask”? (a) Ask (b) Create
5. 5.🔢 To follow the engineering design process, what comes right after “Ask”? (a) Imagine (b) Improve (c) Test (d) Create

16. 16.🔄 Which design-process step is it to pick the build order? (a) Test (b) Create (c) Ask (d) Plan
17. 17.🔢 To follow the engineering design process, what comes right after “Create”? (a) Plan (b) Test (c) Ask (d) Imagine
18. 18.🔢 To follow the engineering design process, which comes first: “Improve” or “Plan”? (a) Plan (b) Improve
