Engineering lesson 3: The engineering design process · Set 489 · 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) follow the plan to build (b) list the materials (c) make it better, retest (d) dream up possible fixes
2. 2.🔄 In which step do engineers draw a labelled diagram? (a) Improve (b) Ask (c) Plan (d) Test
3. 3.Which of these happens in the Plan step? (a) build the model (b) draw a labelled diagram (c) define the problem (d) redesign after testing
4. 4.True or false: to check it against goals is the Test step. (a) True (b) False
5. 5.🔄 Which design-process step is it to fix the weak part? (a) Imagine (b) Test (c) Improve (d) Create

17. 17.Which of these happens in the Imagine step? (a) list the materials (b) redesign after testing (c) define the problem (d) dream up possible fixes
18. 18.Which of these happens in the Improve step? (a) make a prototype (b) dream up possible fixes (c) think of wild ideas (d) fix the weak part
19. 19.🔄 After testing, a design does not work well. What comes next? (a) Ask (b) Imagine (c) Improve (d) give up
20. 20.🔢 To follow the engineering design process, what comes right after “Plan”? (a) Improve (b) Imagine (c) Ask (d) Create
21. 21.True or false: to fix the weak part is the Improve step. (a) True (b) False
22. 22.Which of these happens in the Ask step? (a) list the materials (b) ask who will use it (c) measure its performance (d) follow the plan to build
