• PLAN

• TEST

• IMAGINE

Which step of the Design Process involves communicating the results of your tests?

• ASK

• PLAN

• SHARE & REFLECT

• IMPROVE

If your original design doesn't fully solve the problem, you must revise your plan. This is part of which step?

• ASK

• PLAN

• SHARE & REFLECT

• IMPROVE

What is the step in the Engineering Design Process where you identify a problem?

• ASK

• TEST

• SHARE & REFLECT

• IMPROVE

To know if a design will work in real-world conditions is to BUILD a prototype, based on the plan. Which step is this?

• ASK

• PLAN

• CREATE

• TEST

You have built a prototype to improve the brake system of a car. What is the next step that the engineer should take in?

• Present the prototype to others.

• Test the prototype.

• Sketch what the prototype looks like.

• Brainstorm ideas.

• Throw it out and start again.

When creating a solution, a designer builds a model, also called a __________.

• Prototype

• Design

• Thinga-majig

• Solution

• Criteria

When finding the solution to an engineering problem, there is/are usually...

• Only one possible correct solution

• Many possible correct solutions

After you identify the overall problem, you move to the next step. What happens at this step?

• IMAGINE - brainstorm all possible solutions to problem

• CREATE - build the prototype

• TEST - see what works well and what could work better

• ASK - What is the problem?
