Unit 2: The Engineering Process Science Study Guide Test Date

This document is a study guide for a unit on the engineering process. It provides definitions for key terms like prototypes and technologies. It also lists the steps of the design process, which includes finding a problem, brainstorming solutions, planning and building a prototype, testing and improving it if needed, and sharing the final product. The guide contains multiple choice questions to test understanding of these concepts and how engineers identify problems, develop solutions through prototyping and testing, and work to improve designs through an iterative process.
