2. ENGINEERING IS…
According to Wikipedia, “Engineering is the
science, skill, and profession of acquiring and
applying scientific, economic, social, and practical
knowledge, in order to design and also build
structures, machines, devices, systems, materials
and processes.”
The use of math and science to solve problems
(Georgia Tech 2008)

7. WHAT IS AN ENGINEER?
An Engineer is someone who build structures,
produce parts, assemble products, and solve
problems.

What is an Engineer?
9. WHAT DO ENGINEERS DO
Design and develop new products
Use principles of science
Run tests
Create and build things
Use the design process to help solve problems
11. STEP 1: IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM
What is the problem?
What are the goals?
12. STEP 2: RESEARCH THE PROBLEM
What caused the problem?
State of problem (how bad is it).
What are the solutions?
13. STEP 3: DEVELOP POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
Brainstorm possible solutions
14. STEP4: SELECT THE BEST POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Determine which solutions best meets requirements
15. STEP 5: CONSTRUCT A PROTOTYPE
Model the solution
Drawing it out
Building the part
Follow the plan
Create it
16. STEP 6: TEST AND EVALUATE THE SOLUTION
Is it working?
Does it meet requirements?
17. STEP 7: COMMUNICATE THE SOLUTION
Share with peers why this solution works and best
fit the problem.
Present finding and final results.
18. STEP 8: REDESIGN
Make improvements
If solution did not solve problem or have created
new problem, repeat step 2-8 as necessary.
19. ENGINEERING DESIGN PROCESS IN USE
Here are a couple examples on how the
Engineering Design Process works.

What does an Engineer Do?
20. ASSIGNMENT: WHAT IS ENGINEERING?
Decide on what field of Engineering you are
interested in learning more about.
Base on field of study, you will be put into groups.
Each group will research the field of study and
answer the following questions (refer to handouts)
Each group will be given a problem. Use the
Engineering Design Process to come up with a
solution. Fill out worksheet.
21. ASSIGNMENT: WHAT IS ENGINEERING? CONTINUES
After researching the field, each group will organize
the data collected and create a presentation using
Prezi or PowerPoint.
Everyone will be graded as a group as well as an
individual.
Everyone must complete and submit a group
evaluation.
