Engineering Worksheet: Part 1 Test

Engineering lesson 8: Part 1 test: what engineers do · Set 178 · 40 questions

Engineer's tip (Find the topic, use the idea): Find the topic: invention, branch, design step, limit or goal, testing, teamwork or tools. Use that lesson’s rule — the design process order is ask, imagine, plan, create, test, improve. For number questions, write the calculation before you answer.

22. 22.True or false: “finish in 40 minutes” is a constraint (a limit). (a) True (b) False
23. 23.Which of these happens in the Plan step? (a) draw a labelled diagram (b) define the problem (c) ask who will use it (d) try it out
24. 24.🔄 Which design-process step is it to make it better, retest? (a) Ask (b) Improve (c) Create (d) Imagine
