Engineering lesson 3: The engineering design process · Set 617 · 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 fix the weak part is the Ask step. (a) False (b) True
2. 2.Which of these happens in the Create step? (a) define the problem (b) make a prototype (c) redesign after testing (d) check it against goals
