Engineering Worksheet: Part 1 Test

Engineering lesson 8: Part 1 test: what engineers do · Set 752 · 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.🤝 In a design team, who runs the tests? (a) materials manager (b) tester (c) team leader (d) builder
23. 23.True or false: a civil engineer designs a paint factory. (a) False (b) True
24. 24.🤝 In a design team, who tracks what is used up? (a) tester (b) materials manager (c) team leader (d) recorder
25. 25.Which of these happens in the Ask step? (a) pick the build order (b) check it against goals (c) make a prototype (d) ask who will use it
