The basic job of an engineer is to ________.

• Solve Problems

• Build Engines

• Drive Cars

• Use Computers

What is the engineering design process used to do?

• To study something

• It's not used for anything

• To understand something

• To create something or to improve something.

Which statement is true?

• Scientists use the scientific method to design products or processes that will solve a problem.

• Engineers use the engineering design process to to make testable explanations and predictions about the world. Engineers ask a question and develop an experiment, or set of experiments, to answer that question.

• Engineers use the engineering design process to create solutions to problems or improve existing designs. An engineer identifies a specific need: Who need(s) what because why? And then, he or she creates a solution that meets the need.

• Scientists and engineers are exactly the same.
