  31. “e” - Engineering Design Process Two similar models, same gist!

  32. Step 1: Identify the Problem Step 2: Frame the Design Brief Step 3: Research & Brainstorming Step 4: Generate Alternate Solutions Step 5: Chosen Solution & Rationale Step 6: Developmental Work Step 7: Production (product, system, device, event) Step 8: Testing & Evaluation Step 9: Redesign & Reflect Step 10: Communicate (document, present) EDP

  33. iSTEM Virginia Tech Coins the Term: “Integrative STEM” "the application of technological/engineering design based pedagogical approaches to intentionally teach content and practices of science and mathematics education concurrently with content and practices of technology/engineering education. Integrative STEM education is equally applicable at the natural intersections of learning within the continuum of content areas, educational environments, and academic levels" (Wells & Ernst, 2012)
