12. 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

13. 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

14. 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

15. 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

16. 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
