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.
