ENGINEERING DESIGN
PROCESS EXERCISE
Based on the given
scenario, determine
whether the following
statements are true or
false. To do this, print
or copy this page on a
blank paper and
underline or circle the
answer.
True or False – give a reason for every
answer…
True | False 1. The steps that Chris and his colleagues would undertake to solve their
problem are called the engineering design cycle.
True | False 2. They should determine whether the problem originated from the laser's
antiquity or it damaged cooling system.
True | False 3. Once they've identified the problem, the next step would be to brainstorm
for solutions.
True | False 4. A brainstorming process produces a vast array of ideas and draws links
between them to potential solutions.
True | False 5. From the possible solutions, their team should decide which solution to
develop.
True | False 6. A prototype that works with some minor setbacks needs no redesigning.
True | False 7. Chris may continue the step-by-step design process until the problem is
officially solved.
True | False 8. If they decide to redesign the prototype, they should consider
brainstorming all over again.
Solutions –…
1.True
2.True
3.False, because the correct statement is: Once they've
identified the problem, the next step would be to look for
existing solutions.
4.True
5.True
6.False, because the correct statement is: A prototype that
works with some minor setbacks needs redesigning.
7.True
8.True
