All About Engineering
The Definition of ENGINEERING...
Engineering is the process of creating a solution to solve a problem. The people that do this are called engineers. They use their imagination and knowledge of math and science to solve problems.
Lets Break it down
Engineers always work to improve solutions to problems.
The original light bulb was a great solution to it being dark at night, but the light bulb got very hot. Engineers then made better light bulbs that do not get hot and use less energy.
It is always a good idea to sketch
out a plan.
A drawing can help engineers think about their design before they start building it. They might get new ideas while drawing and they can think about which steps to do first.
Engineers test their solutions.
Testing a solution can help an engineer improve their design. Testing your design is when you can find out if what you imagined will solve the problem in real life
Sometimes a design will fail.
An engineer learns a lot about their design when it fails. They can then improve the design so that it doesn’t fail the next time. Each time they redesign their solution, it can get better.
