The engineering process is a series of steps visit that individuals (engineers, developers, scientists) use to create a product or solution. These products are often used in everyday life, and can solve problems faced by consumers or other users.
The process starts with students defining the problem, researching it and identifying requirements that must be met. Then students brainstorm ideas and think about what others have already done to solve this problem.
They then choose the best solution from their list and build a working prototype. This step allows students to see that they have made a lot of progress and can see their solution become a reality.
Once the students have constructed their prototypes they test them in order to determine if it works as expected. The prototypes can be used to improve their designs.
Most likely, they will have to make many prototypes before their design is complete and works. This iterative approach teaches them to never stop improving their designs.
The process of engineering can be used to solve problems throughout a student’s life, whether they decide to become engineers. They can apply the skills they learn to any project, from building skyscrapers to making sneakers.
