Introducing the Engineering Design Process
The Engineering Design Process is a series of eight steps that engineers, people trained to
use science and technology, use to solve practical problems. The steps involve identifying
the need or problem, researching the problem, developing possible solutions, selecting the
best possible solution(s), constructing a prototype, testing and evaluating the solution,
communicating the solution(s), and redesigning. Good engineers will brainstorm
with other people to come up with several different ideas before choosing a
path to take. When they make their prototype, a working model of their design,
they will have to be mindful of constraints. These are factors that limit or restrict
a design, such as only having a limited amount of time or money. Engineers might also
make trade-offs, where they give up one benefit in order to obtain another.
During this process, engineers will troubleshoot and redesign their products to
identify and fix any problems that might occur. When a person develops a
new product, they can apply for a patent, which is legal document issued by
the government, to protect their invention for a limited time.
True or False
If the answer is true, write “true” on the line. If the answer is false, replace the underlined word
or phrase with one that will make the sentence correct. Write the new word(s) on the line.
1. ____________________
true Engineers will redesign their products when they find flaws.
2. ____________________
false It is best to brainstorm by yourself so you can come up with a lot
of great ideas.
3. ____________________
true A person can sell a product that has a patent if they obtain
permission from the patent holder.
4. ____________________
false After researching the problem, you should begin constructing a
prototype.
5. ____________________
false Having access to unlimited resources is an example of a constraint.
6. ____________________
false The first step of the Engineering Design Process is to select the
best possible solution.

Short Answer
Answer the following questions in the space below. Make sure to use complete sentences.
15. An ice-cream company decides to make a new lower calorie flavor, but testers reported that
the flavor wasn’t as good as the original. Is this an example of trade-off? Explain why or why-not.
______________________________________________________________________"
yes because the company is giving up flavor for less calories
