Engineering lesson 3: The engineering design process · Set 459 · 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 try it out is the Create step. (a) False (b) True
2. 2.Which of these happens in the Improve step? (a) make a prototype (b) ask who will use it (c) define the problem (d) redesign after testing
3. 3.🔢 To follow the engineering design process, what comes right after “Imagine”? (a) Create (b) Test (c) Plan (d) Ask
4. 4.🔢 To follow the engineering design process, which comes first: “Imagine” or “Create”? (a) Create (b) Imagine
5. 5.Which of these happens in the Ask step? (a) think of wild ideas (b) list the materials (c) find the limits (d) check it against goals
6. 6.True or false: to define the problem is the Ask step. (a) False (b) True
7. 7.🔢 To follow the engineering design process, what comes right after “Ask”? (a) Plan (b) Imagine (c) Create (d) Improve

9. 9.Which of these happens in the Plan step? (a) brainstorm many ideas (b) fix the weak part (c) draw a labelled diagram (d) define the problem
10. 10.Which of these happens in the Test step? (a) make it better, retest (b) dream up possible fixes (c) measure its performance (d) find the limits
11. 11.🔢 To follow the engineering design process, what comes right after “Test”? (a) Create (b) Improve (c) Imagine (d) Ask
12. 12.Which of these happens in the Improve step? (a) make a prototype (b) fix the weak part (c) pick the build order (d) find the limits

16. 16.🔢 To follow the engineering design process, which is the FIRST step? (a) Imagine (b) Create (c) Ask (d) Improve
17. 17.Which of these happens in the Imagine step? (a) try it out (b) brainstorm many ideas (c) ask who will use it (d) build the model
18. 18.Which of these happens in the Create step? (a) ask who will use it (b) define the problem (c) follow the plan to build (d) find the limits
