When you IDENTIFY A PROBLEM the solution to the problem is included.
True
False
Example: I need to travel a far distance (across the ocean) in order to visit my family.
What step is this example in the Engineering Process?
Step 2:Brainstorm
Step 3: Design
Step 1: Identify a problem
Step 7: Share the solution
Example: My brothers and I communicate ideas to figure out the solution to our problem.
What step in the Engineering Process is this?
Step 1: Identify the Problem
Step 2: Brainstorm
Step 3: Design
Step 4: Build
Example: We begin to draw a blueprint for a vehicle that can travel across large bodies of water.
What step in the Engineering Process is this?
Step 1: Identify the Problem
Step 2: Brainstorm
Step 3: Design a solution
Step 4: Build
Example: We begin to build a prototype of our design of this water-mobile. It is not the actual size of the final solution, but we will use it to test our theory.
What step in the Engineering Process is this?
Step 1: Identify the problem
Step 2: Brainstorm
Step 3: Design
Step 4: Build
Example: We test our prototype to see how well it works on water for long amounts of time. We time the model and write down what we observe from the tests.
What step in the Engineering Process is this?
Step 4: Build
Step 5: Test and Evaluate
Step 6: Redesign
Step 7: Share the solution
Example: We found out that the material we used for our prototype did not stay afloat in the water for as long as we needed. We go back and design using a different type of wood and create another model.
What step in the Engineering Process is this?
Step 4: Build
Step 5: Test and Evaluate
Step 6: Redesign
Step 7: Share the Solution
Example: Our final model was a success! We think that we could help solve the same problem for other people. We begin to show our family members and friends the solution to travelling across large bodies of water!
What step in the Engineering Process is this?

Collaboration in Engineering and Technology at Redan High School
In Mrs. Scarboro-Vazquez's Engineering and Technology class at Redan High School, students are learning the importance of collaboration through team project design. This week, the class was tasked with creating a prototype for a sustainable energy solution. Working in groups, students combined their individual skills to brainstorm ideas, sketch designs, and build models. Collaboration allowed them to pool their knowledge and creativity, ensuring that each project reflected diverse perspectives and innovative thinking.
Problem-solving techniques played a key role in the success of the projects. When one group encountered a challenge with their prototype's stability, they used effective communication skills to discuss potential solutions. By sharing resources and ideas, they identified a way to reinforce the structure using materials available in the classroom. This process demonstrated how teamwork can lead to practical solutions that might not have been discovered individually.
Peer review was another critical aspect of the week’s activities. Groups presented their prototypes to the class, receiving constructive feedback from their peers. This feedback helped them refine their designs and address overlooked issues. Time management in groups was emphasized as students worked to meet deadlines while balancing their responsibilities. Through collaboration, the students not only completed their projects but also developed skills that will benefit them in future academic and professional endeavors.

Creating a prototype for a sustainable energy solution
Designing a new classroom layout
Building a robot for a competition
Writing a report on renewable energy
How did students address the challenge of prototype stability?
