  1. ENGINEERING Engineers and the Engineering Design Process

  2. What is Engineering? • What do you think an engineer is? • Engineers use math and science to invent, design, and build things. They work together to ask questions and dream up creative and practical solutions. • What do you think of when you hear the word engineering? • Engineering is not usually considered a science. Science is about discovering the natural world. Engineering is creating the artificial.

  3. What things are engineered?

  4. WHAT Things are Engineered? • Buildings • balls • Food items • Baskets • Blanket • Everything around you and that you use every day has been engineered in some way, yet you rarely hear about the work of engineers.

  5. Types of Engineers • Chemical • Discover and manufacture plastics, paints, fuels, fibers, medicine, fertilizer, paper • Help protect the environment by inventing cleaner technologies • Civil • Oversee the construction of buildings and other structures; build and design highways, skyscrapers, railways, bridges, water reservoirs

  6. TYPES OF ENGINEERS • Electrical • Includes macro and micro engineering • Develop components for MP3 players, digital cameras, iPads, roller coasters, medical technology, communication systems • Mechanical • If an object has a moving part, it has been designed by a mechanical engineer • Develop: bike lock, aircraft carrier, toys, hybrid car engine, wheelchair, sailboat

  7. The Engineering Design Process • IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM • Describe the challenge to be solved, including the limits and constraints. • EXPLORE • Research what others have done. Discover what materials are available. • DESIGN • Use your knowledge and creativity to come up with many solutions. Choose one idea and draw or make a model of it.

  8. THE ENGINEERING DESIGN PROCESS • K • P • jkpo • CREATE • Make your solution. • TRY IT OUT • Test your solution. • MAKE IT BETTER • Evaluate how the solution worked and think of how to improve your design.

  9. The Engineering Design Process in Action…. • Identify the Problem: Make a new running show. Constraint: Made only of recycled materials. • Explore: Find out what other companies are doing to use recycled parts. What materials are they using, how are they finding the materials, and what part of the shoe are they using them for. Example: KEDS is making a shoe with recycled rubber from tires, organic cotton and shoelaces made from recycled water bottles. • Design: Sketch and model various solutions, describing what each part is made of and how it will be transformed into a part of the shoe. • Create: Make the best solution from your models. • Try it Out: Do tests with target audiences such as runners and athletes. Ask for their feedback. • Make it Better: Evaluate the feedback and make changes.
