Engineering Design Process and Coding Quiz

What is the first step in the engineering design process?

• Build a prototype

• Test the design

• Define the problem

• Improve the solution

Why is brainstorming important in the design process?

• It ensures only one solution is created

• It generates creative ideas and explores multiple solutions

• It eliminates the need for testing

• It provides a final design

What is the purpose of testing a prototype?

• To skip other steps of the process

• To improve the final product without any issues

• To see if the solution works and identify areas for improvement

• To discard other ideas completely

Which of the following is an example of defining a problem?

• "We need to design a car that uses less fuel."

• "I think wheels should be round."

• "Our prototype worked well during testing."

• "Let’s plan to build the final product tomorrow."

What does it mean to improve a design?

• Creating a completely new solution

• Making changes to fix problems found during testing

• Replacing old materials with new ones

• Building a larger version of the prototype

Why is collaboration helpful in the engineering process?

• It speeds up building time

• It helps combine different perspectives and ideas

• It eliminates the need for testing

• It reduces the number of materials needed

What is a prototype?

• A written plan for testing a solution

• The final version of a design

• A first model used to test a solution

• A list of materials needed for building

Which step comes right after brainstorming?

• Test the design

• Plan and create a detailed diagram

• Improve the solution

• Define the problem

What is the purpose of a plan in the design process?

• To reduce the amount of materials used

• To ensure the design is perfect

• To organize materials and steps for building

• To avoid testing entirely

What should you do if your prototype doesn’t work during testing?

• Start a completely new project

• Improve the design and test again

• Use the prototype anyway

• Skip the testing step
