Engineering Design Process

In some cases prototypes need changes and modifications with each iteration. What is the meaning of the word iteration?

• to repeat it

• to leave it

• to destroy the prototype

• to share it

• communicate

• prototype

• limitations

Why is it important to identify the criteria and constraints of a project before building and testing a prototype?

• So that the prototype will be the right size

• so that it will solve the problem

• so that you do not go over budget

• All of the above

A small group of people start sharing ideas. Some ideas may seem silly, but all suggestions are written down for further consideration. This activity is part of which step of the Design Process

• Explore

• Identify the problem

• Design

• Try it out

For a technology project, Kyle came up with an idea to build a model bridge. According to the engineering design process, which of the following should be Kyle's next step?

• construct prototypes

• gather material to build a bridge

• research different designs

You need to design a clear water bottle that holds at least 16 ounces. What is an example of a CONTRAINT on the design?

• 
  The bottle must hold at least 16 ounces

• The bottle must cost less than 10 cents to produce

• The bottle must be made from clear material

• 
  The bottle can have any color label
