    30s
  • Q3
    How does the engineering design process differ from the scientific method?
    It involves writing hypotheses
    It involves designing and testing solutions

    30s
  • Q4
    What should you do if your prototype does not meet all the requirements?
    Iterate and improve the design
    Ignore the requirements
    Share the results
    Start a new project
    30s
  • Q5
    What is iteration in the context of the engineering design process?
    Repeating steps to improve the design
    Ignoring feedback
    Completing steps in order
    Skipping steps
    30s
  • Q6
    Which of the following is NOT a typical step in the engineering design process?
    Conducting background research
    Defining the problem
    Building a prototype
    Writing a hypothesis
    30s
  • Q7
    Why might engineers return to an earlier step in the design process?
    To make modifications based on test results
    To add more steps
    To finalize the design
    To skip unnecessary steps
    30s
  • Q8
    What is a prototype?
    A final product
    A set of observations
    A research paper
    A test version of a solution
    30s
  • Q9
    What should engineers do after testing a prototype?
    Define a new problem
    Share the results
    Conduct more background research
    Ignore the results
    30s
  • Q10
    What is the purpose of background research in the engineering design process?
    To share results
    To define the problem
    To find existing solutions
    To test the prototype
    30s
  • Q11
    Which step involves determining the criteria for a successful solution?
    Defining the problem
    Building a prototype
    Specifying requirements
    Testing the prototype
    30s
  • Q12
    What is the role of data in the engineering design process?
    To ignore it
    To guide iteration and improvements
    To finalize the design
    To define the problem
    30s
  • Q13
    What happens if a solution meets all the requirements?
    The results are shared
    The prototype is discarded
    A new problem is defined
    The process starts over
    30s
  • Q14
    What is a common outcome of testing a prototype?
    Finalizing the design
    Finding no issues
    Skipping steps
    Identifying areas for improvement
    30s
  • Q15
    Why is it important to specify requirements in the design process?
    To ensure the solution meets the problem's needs
    To avoid iteration
    To finalize the design
    To skip testing
    30s
