What is step 1? 

Identify the Problem 

100

The fourth step of the EDP is

Plan 

100

The seventh step of the EDP is

Redesign

100

the branch of science and technology concerned with the design, building, and use of engines, machines, and structures.

Engineering 

100

A series of steps that engineers follow to come up with a solution to a problem

Engineering Design Process

200

The second step of the EDP is

Research 

200

The fifth step of the EDP is

Build a Prototype

200

The eighth step of the EDP is

Communicate 

200

What does EDP stand for

Engineering Design Process 

200

Jacob has noticed that when he opens his bedroom door, the doorknob hits the wall. He decides to design something to absorb the force of the opening door. He has identified the problem. What is the next step in his design process?

Step 3 Brainstorm 

300

The third step of the EDP is

Brainstorm 

300

The sixth step of the EDP is

Test and Evaluate 

300

John should try to float the boat with 10 marbles in it and note how well it works and any issues that come up.

Step 6 Test and Evaluate 

300
What is one word to define Constraints 

Limitations 

300

Before releasing a new movie, the creator gives the movie to 200 people who provide feedback about the movie. What part of the Design Process does this scenario describe?

Step 6 Test/Evaluate 

400

John should find out how boats are made, characteristics of boats and clay, and what makes something buoyant.

Step 2 Research 

400

John should work with the clay to form it into a shape that will hold 10 marbles and maintain buoyancy.

Step 5 Build a Prototype

400

An engineer has designed and built a prototype to improve the brake system of a car. What is the next step that the engineer should take in the process?

Step 6 Test and Evaluate 

400

What is one word to define Criteria 

Requirements 

400

A tire company is creating a new tire for a motorcycle to drive off-road in sandy and rocky conditions as well as on roads. Engineers brainstormed three different tread patterns. Based on the engineering design process, the next step the company should take is to

Step 4 Plan 

500

John should decide, based on his research, what boat design will hold all 10 marbles and float.

Step 4 Plan 

500

Step where design portfolios, design journals, drawings and schematics are all used.

Step 8 Communication 

500

During which step of the Design Process would the specific constraints or criteria of the problem be identified

Step 1

500

What is a Prototype 

Full size working model of a product.

500

What are the three things you need to identify in the first step of the EDP

Who (has the problem)

What (is the problem)

Why (does this problem need to be solved)
