Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. This worksheet will assess your understanding of the engineering design process.

1. Which of the following is typically the first step in the engineering design process?

Building a prototype

Identifying the problem

Testing the solution

Refining the design

2. What is the primary purpose of brainstorming in the engineering design process?

To select the best solution immediately

To generate a wide range of potential solutions

To identify constraints and criteria

To build a preliminary prototype

3. The engineering design process is an process, meaning steps can be repeated and refined as needed.

4. Before designing a solution, engineers must first clearly the problem and its constraints.

5. The engineering design process always follows a strict, linear path with no deviations.

True

False

6. Testing a prototype is an optional step in the engineering design process.

True

False

7. Briefly explain why iteration is important in the engineering design process. Give an example.

8. What is the difference between a constraint and a criterion in engineering design?

9. Number the steps of the engineering design process in the correct order (1-5).

Test and Evaluate

Identify the Problem

Brainstorm and Develop Solutions

Build and Create a Prototype

Improve and Redesign
