Fun with Engineering Design

What is the first step in the engineering design process?

• Brainstorm solutions

• Define the criteria

• Test the prototype

• Identify the problem

Why is it important to ask questions in engineering?

• It is important to ask questions in engineering to clarify requirements, identify issues, and foster collaboration.

• To avoid unnecessary communication

• To limit the scope of the project

• To ensure all engineers work independently

What do engineers do after they identify a problem?

• Engineers analyze the problem and develop solutions.

• Engineers ignore the problem and move on.

• Engineers report the problem to management without action.

• Engineers wait for someone else to solve it.

What is a prototype?

• A prototype is a detailed user manual for a product.

• A prototype is a final version of a product ready for market.

• A prototype is a marketing strategy for product launch.

• A prototype is an early model or sample of a product used for testing and validation.

Why do engineers test their designs?

• To ensure functionality, safety, and reliability.

• To increase the complexity of the design.

• To impress clients with flashy features.

• To reduce production costs.

What do you think is the most fun part of designing something?

• The technical specifications of the project.

• The feedback from clients and stakeholders.

• The creative process of bringing ideas to life.

• The budget constraints and limitations.

How can you improve a design after testing it?

• Gather feedback, analyze results, identify improvements, iterate, and retest.

• Focus solely on aesthetics without functionality

• Ignore user feedback and make random changes

• Skip retesting and implement changes immediately

Why is teamwork important in engineering?

• Teamwork is unnecessary in engineering as individual work is more efficient.

• Teamwork complicates the engineering process and slows down progress.

• Teamwork is only important for large projects, not for small tasks.

• Teamwork is crucial in engineering for effective problem-solving, creativity, and efficient project management.

How do engineers share their ideas with others?

• Engineers share their ideas through presentations, reports, and collaborative tools.

• Engineers share their ideas through social media posts.

• Engineers only share ideas during lunch breaks.

• Engineers keep their ideas private and do not share them.

What is the last step in the engineering design process?

• Identify the problem

• Design the prototype

• Communicate the results

• Test the solution
