PLTW Design Cycle Assessment

What is the first step in the PLTW Design Cycle?

• Develop a solution

• Define the problem

• Evaluate the solution

• Test the solution

In the PLTW Design Cycle, which step involves gathering feedback to improve the design?

• Define the problem

• Test the solution

• Evaluate the solution

• Construct a prototype

The purpose of brainstorming during the design process is to:

• Limit ideas to the most feasible

• Generate as many ideas as possible

• Develop a final solution

• Test existing solutions

Explain the importance of defining the problem in the design cycle.

Describe how prototyping can lead to better solutions.

What role does testing play in the design cycle? Provide an example.

Identify and explain one challenge you might face in the 'Evaluate' step.

How can peer feedback be integrated into the design cycle?

When they're trying to solve a problem, engineers follow a series of _____

• steps
• problems
• solutions
• tests

During which step of the Engineering Design Process (EDP) do you justify your design choice and draw a detailed sketch?

• Step 1 - Identify The Problem

• Step 2 - Research & Explore

• Step 3 - Select an Approach
