1 CU Science Discovery School and Teacher Programs
Engineering is Everywhere: Learning and Solving Problems with Design Process Models

2 What is Engineering Engineering is Everywhere!
Engineering 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!

3 What is Engineering?

4 What is Engineering There 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!

5 Engineers make a world of difference
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

6 Inquiry and Design Process
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 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

10 Atoms, Compounds and Polymers
Bonds Polymers are compounds made from repeating chains or networks of monomers

11 Photo Origami: Energy, Design and Change Bioengineering and Biodesign
Today’s Program Photo Origami: Energy, Design and Change Bioengineering and Biodesign Applying scientific and engineering design process models to cutting edge research from CU Practice using engineering design process models in bioscience applications from the real world 21st Century Materials Conducting experiments and completing design challenges with new and interesting materials

12 Schedule for the Day 9:00 – 10:30 Module One 10:30 – 11:15 Lunch
11:15 – 12:30 Module Two 12:30 – 12:45 Break 12:45 – 2:00 Module Three 2:00 – 2:30 Wrap Up

13 What we want you to get from today’s Program
Learn about and see some cool stuff Enjoy science and engineering projects Develop an understanding of how important science and engineering are Develop you ability to create scientific and engineering inquiries Get excited about science, technology, engineering and math…
