Engineering Worksheet: Part 1 Test

Engineering lesson 8: Part 1 test: what engineers do · Set 379 · 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.

23. 23.📋 Criteria are … (a) goals a design must meet (b) the tools you use (c) the team names (d) the limits on money
24. 24.🛠️ Is a water filter made by engineers or found in nature? (a) found in nature (b) made by engineers
25. 25.📋 A design meets every criterion but costs more than the budget. Is it acceptable? (a) only if it is red (b) yes, it works (c) no, it breaks a limit (d) yes, always
