Engineering Worksheet: Part 1 Test

Engineering lesson 8: Part 1 test: what engineers do · Set 89 · 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.Which of these happens in the Imagine step? (a) build the model (b) try it out (c) redesign after testing (d) think of wild ideas
24. 24.🧪 Is it good or poor testing to guess, do not measure? (a) poor testing (b) good testing
