Engineering is Everywhere:Learning and Solving Problems with Design Process Models
CU Science DiscoverySchool and Teacher Programs
What is EngineeringEngineering is the application of scientific, economic, social, and
practical knowledge to,design, build, and maintain structures, machines, devices,
systems, materials and processes.
Just about everything we build is designed and engineered first, so if
you think about it,Engineering is Everywhere!
What is Engineering?

What is EngineeringThere are many types of engineers: aerospace, agricultural, biological,
biomedical, chemical, civil, computer, electrical,
environmental, geological, industrial, marine, mechanical,
mining, nuclear, petroleum, systems engineers,
interdisciplinary engineers and more!
Engineers help shape the future:Engineers use the latest science, math, tools and technologies to bring ideas to
life!
What is Engineering?
No Profession unleashes the spirit of innovation like
engineering!
Engineers make a world of difference
Engineers, like scientists, use a process to guide their efforts!
Engineers are creative problem-solvers:Engineers use collaboration, ideating,
research, practices to design or clothes, tools, chairs, lights, buildings, our cities, states and
nations
Inquiry and Design Process
Define the Opportunity and Gather Relevant
Information
Choose a Potential Solution
and Design a Model to Test It
Develop Conclusions From Data and Share
the Results
Test the Model(s) vs. Parameters &
Collect and Analyze the Data
Engineering Design Process
Goal: To Discover How To Make or Do Something
Define the Question and
Gather Relevant Information
Create a Hypothesis and
an Experiment to Test it
Develop Conclusions From Data and Share
the Results
Conduct the Experiment &
Collect and Analyze the Data
Science Inquiry Process
Goal: To Discover How Something
Works/Functions
