Engineering Design Process

What is the primary purpose of the engineering design process?

• To reduce the need for testing prototypes

• To complicate the design process

• To make engineers work harder

• To guide the development of products and processes

What does 'iterative' mean in the context of the engineering design process?

• The process is outdated

• The process is completed once

• Engineers go through the process multiple times

• The process involves a single step

What is the first step of the engineering design process?

• Defining the problem and constraints

• Building a prototype

• Brainstorming solutions

• Conducting background research

Why is brainstorming important in the engineering design process?

• To build the first prototype

• To come up with many creative solutions

• To finalize the product design

• To test the final product

What do engineers do after building and testing prototypes?

• Stop the design process

• Learn from failures and improve the design

• Ignore any problems found

• Immediately sell the product
