The Engineering Process

The engineering process is a set of steps that engineers, developers, and scientists use to create products or solutions. These products and solutions are used by consumers and users every day.

Students begin by defining the problem and researching it. They then identify requirements that must be met. Then, they brainstorm ideas and consider what other people have done to solve a similar problem.

After they have created a list of possible solutions, they pick the best one and build a prototyping. This step shows that students have achieved a great deal and can see the idea become a real-life solution.

Students test their prototypes to see if they perform as expected. They can also improve their designs using the prototypes.

Most engineering design likely, they will have to make many prototypes before their design is complete and works. This iterative design process teaches students that they need to keep improving their designs and can’t stop until they have the best possible design.

Your students can use the engineering process throughout their lives, regardless of whether they become engineers. They can apply what they learn to any type of project, such as building skyscrapers or manufacturing sneakers.
