Engineers shape our future
Analyzing–identifying design problems,
organizing ideas, developing
data representations
Evaluating–choosing materials, debating with teammates, deciding on a course of action, testing designs, assessing failures
Creating –generating new ideas, designing solutions, hypothesizing what will happen, constructing models, redesigning models
Engineering activities help students answer the age old question “When will I ever use that?”
Engineering activities let students experience hands-on application of concepts learned in other subjects which may enhance understanding1
Engineering activities allow teachers to become facilitators of knowledge in the learning process by allowing their students to work collaboratively on student driven, inquiry based problems
Engineering activities foster students’ creativity and innovation by encouraging students to: –brainstorm ideas
–develop novel solutions to open-ended problems
–examine a problem from numerous angles
–work collaboratively
–predict what will happen
–test and experiment
–troubleshoot
–reflect on successes and failures
–communicate results
