Engineering lesson 3: The engineering design process · Set 796 · 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) make a prototype (b) draw a labelled diagram (c) dream up possible fixes (d) check it against goals
2. 2.Which of these happens in the Improve step? (a) redesign after testing (b) define the problem (c) find the limits (d) try it out
3. 3.Which of these happens in the Imagine step? (a) measure its performance (b) ask who will use it (c) make a prototype (d) think of wild ideas
4. 4.🔄 After testing, a design does not work well. What comes next? (a) Ask (b) Improve (c) give up (d) Imagine
