Unit 1, Lesson 4 – The Engineering Design Process

Unit 1, Lesson 4 – The Engineering Design Process The top of the Burj Khalifa! (2,722 feet)

Unit 1, Lesson 4 – The Engineering Design Process What is technology? - technology is the application of science for practical purposes & can include products, processes or systems - the method used to develop new technology is called the engineering design process

Unit 1, Lesson 4 – The Engineering Design Process Is all technology complicated? - technology can be simple like a zipper or tape - however, technology can be complex like a particle accelerator, laptops, or telescopes Complete #7, pg.51

Unit 1, Lesson 4 – The Engineering Design Process

Unit 1, Lesson 4 – The Engineering Design Process What do engineers do? - engineering is the application of science & math to solve real-life problems - there are many types of engineers: 1. Biomedical Engineer – design medical devices such as heart monitors, x-rays, & prosthetics

Unit 1, Lesson 4 – The Engineering Design Process 2. Chemical Engineer – design chemical products 3. Civil Engineer – design solutions to transport problems with bridges, railroads, tunnels, highways, and irrigation systems

Unit 1, Lesson 4 – The Engineering Design Process 4. Electrical Engineer – works with computers & machines to solve problems with electronics, electricity, & electromagnetism 5. Mechanical Engineer – works with computers & machines to solve problems

Unit 1, Lesson 4 – The Engineering Design Process - engineers have to continually work around constraints, which are limitations to their work - to work within constraints, engineers often make trade-offs, which is giving up one advantage to keep another - the biggest constraints for an engineer are time, money, materials, labor, and the laws of physics

Unit 1, Lesson 4 – The Engineering Design Process What skills are needed for engineering design? - every product ever created was built through the engineering design process & required these skills: 1. Creative Thinking 2. Using Math & Models 3. Thinking Methodically 4. Using Technology 5. Using Science Complete #12, pg.55

Unit 1, Lesson 4 – The Engineering Design Process How does the engineering design process work?
