Engineering lesson 3: The engineering design process · Set 715 · 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) follow the plan to build (b) define the problem (c) make it better, retest (d) brainstorm many ideas
2. 2.🔢 To follow the engineering design process, which comes first: “Create” or “Test”? (a) Test (b) Create
3. 3.Which of these happens in the Imagine step? (a) build the model (b) define the problem (c) pick the build order (d) dream up possible fixes
4. 4.🔄 Is the engineering design process done only once? (a) only on Sundays (b) yes, only once (c) only for big jobs (d) no, it repeats
5. 5.Which of these happens in the Ask step? (a) draw a labelled diagram (b) redesign after testing (c) build the model (d) define the problem
