Question

question: which step is a part of engineering design but not a part of the scientific method? answer options: select one of four identifying a problem drawing a conclusion building a prototype forming a hypothesis

Explanation:

• Identifying a problem: Done in both engineering design (to define what needs solving) and scientific method (to define what to investigate).
• Drawing a conclusion: Done in both (to summarize findings in science, to evaluate design success in engineering).
• Forming a hypothesis: A key step in the scientific method (to make a testable prediction), also used in engineering design for testing ideas.
• Building a prototype: Specific to engineering design (to create a physical or functional model of the solution), not part of the scientific method (which focuses on investigation, not creating a product).

Answer:

Building a prototype
