Engineering Process

You try, you fail

you try, you fail

you try, you fail

It's OK if you fail as long as you keep doing this step in the engineering design process...

• Think about why you failed

• Quit

• Improve upon failure points

• Create a new problem

Civil Engineers design big projects like buildings. What else might a Civil Engineer work on?

• Making Paint

• A Bridge

• A Computer

• Bicycle

What type of engineer might help design a bridge?

• Mechanical engineer
• Chemical engineer
• Civil engineer
• Aerospace engineer

When generating a solution, a designer creates either a model or a ________________.

• drawing
• report
• design brief
• prototype

You begin to create a prototype of your design only to find that your solution isn't working at all. What should you do?

• Add more tape

• Go back to an earlier stage and choose another solution

• Blame your partner

• Keep going and hope it will be ok

Software Engineers work on programming things like video games. What else might a Software Engineer work on?

• Making Paint

• A Bridge

• A Computer

• Bicycle

Which step might be included when developing solutions?

• Listing criteria and constraints
• Drawing models
• Testing a prototype
• Defining the problem
