Engineering Worksheet: Part 1 Test

Engineering lesson 8: Part 1 test: what engineers do · Set 95 · 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.

3. 3.Which of these happens in the Imagine step? (a) make a prototype (b) build the model (c) think of wild ideas (d) make it better, retest
4. 4.📋 A constraint is … (a) a final test (b) a kind of glue (c) a limit you must keep to (d) a goal for success

21. 21.🔄 After testing, a design does not work well. What comes next? (a) Improve (b) give up (c) Imagine (d) Ask
22. 22.🤝 In a design team, who puts the model together? (a) materials manager (b) team leader (c) tester (d) builder
23. 23.True or false: an electrical engineer designs electric motors. (a) True (b) False
24. 24.📋 Constraint: the tower must be no taller than 80 cm. The team’s tower is 76 cm tall. Is it within the constraint? (a) No (b) Yes
