This week we will be focusing on engineering and the engineering design process.
Our basic questions we want to be able to answer this week is: "What is engineering, and how is successful engineering accomplished?"
Learning Activities:
Monday
Begin discussing the engineering design process; some vocab for today includes: criteria, constraints, solutions, tradeoffs, iterative testing, implementation
Tuesday
Continue discussing the engineering design process; complete questions #1-7 on pages 49 - 55
Wednesday & Thursday
Design a model bicycle helmet using the engineering design process
Friday
Test bicycle helmet models.
