This unit introduces the engineering process to students. It’s a great tool to use before diving into a NGSS Performance Expectation which incorporates the engineering design process. The engineering design process is a series of steps that engineers follow to come up with a solution to a problem. Many times the solution involves designing a product (like a machine or computer code) that meets certain criteria and/or accomplishes a certain task. This process is different from the Steps of the Scientific Method. If your project involves designing, building, and testing something, you should probably follow the Engineering Design Process.
