Engineering lesson 3: The engineering design process · Set 897 · 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.🔄 After testing, a design does not work well. What comes next? (a) Imagine (b) Ask (c) Improve (d) give up
3. 3.🔄 Which design-process step is it to draw a labelled diagram? (a) Test (b) Imagine (c) Plan (d) Create
4. 4.Which of these happens in the Ask step? (a) ask who will use it (b) measure its performance (c) pick the build order (d) think of wild ideas
5. 5.Which of these happens in the Improve step? (a) check it against goals (b) make it better, retest (c) ask who will use it (d) make a prototype
6. 6.True or false: to fix the weak part is the Improve step. (a) False (b) True
7. 7.🔢 To follow the engineering design process, which comes first: “Imagine” or “Ask”? (a) Imagine (b) Ask
8. 8.🔢 To follow the engineering design process, which comes first: “Create” or “Ask”? (a) Ask (b) Create
9. 9.🔄 Which design-process step is it to build the model? (a) Plan (b) Create (c) Ask (d) Improve
10. 10.Which of these happens in the Imagine step? (a) follow the plan to build (b) define the problem (c) brainstorm many ideas (d) ask who will use it
11. 11.Which of these happens in the Create step? (a) check it against goals (b) build the model (c) pick the build order (d) dream up possible fixes
12. 12.🔢 To follow the engineering design process, which comes first: “Improve” or “Ask”? (a) Ask (b) Improve
13. 13.Which of these happens in the Plan step? (a) dream up possible fixes (b) check it against goals (c) pick the build order (d) make it better, retest
14. 14.🔄 In which step do engineers draw a labelled diagram? (a) Plan (b) Improve (c) Ask (d) Test
15. 15.Which of these happens in the Plan step? (a) brainstorm many ideas (b) check it against goals (c) draw a labelled diagram (d) make a prototype
16. 16.🔢 To follow the engineering design process, which comes first: “Ask” or “Create”? (a) Create (b) Ask
17. 17.🔢 To follow the engineering design process, which is the FIRST step? (a) Improve (b) Ask (c) Create (d) Plan
18. 18.🔄 What is the FIRST step of the engineering design process? (a) Test (b) Create (c) Improve (d) Ask
19. 19.Which of these happens in the Create step? (a) measure its performance (b) brainstorm many ideas (c) dream up possible fixes (d) follow the plan to build
20. 20.🔢 To follow the engineering design process, what comes right after “Imagine”? (a) Test (b) Ask (c) Create (d) Plan
21. 21.True or false: to ask who will use it is the Improve step. (a) False (b) True
22. 22.🔢 To follow the engineering design process, which comes first: “Test” or “Ask”? (a) Test (b) Ask
23. 23.Which of these happens in the Improve step? (a) brainstorm many ideas (b) build the model (c) redesign after testing (d) follow the plan to build
24. 24.🔢 To follow the engineering design process, what comes right after “Test”? (a) Improve (b) Ask (c) Plan (d) Create
25. 25.Which of these happens in the Improve step? (a) think of wild ideas (b) pick the build order (c) brainstorm many ideas (d) fix the weak part
26. 26.True or false: to ask who will use it is the Ask step. (a) True (b) False
27. 27.🔢 To follow the engineering design process, what comes right after “Create”? (a) Test (b) Improve (c) Imagine (d) Plan
28. 28.🔄 Is the engineering design process done only once? (a) yes, only once (b) only on Sundays (c) no, it repeats (d) only for big jobs
29. 29.True or false: to redesign after testing is the Improve step. (a) False (b) True
30. 30.🔄 Which design-process step is it to redesign after testing? (a) Improve (b) Test (c) Ask (d) Plan
