Engineering Design Process
Fun Facts
- Engineers solve problems like how to reduce pollution.
- Engineers often try to improve problems in our society, such as how to make a machine to help doctors perform surgery.
- Environmental engineers solve problems related to the improvement and protection of the environment.
Why Do We Need To Know About Problem
Learning about problem-solving in engineering helps you see how science, math, and creativity work together in real life. This is key because engineers use what they know to fix things we deal with every day, like slow internet, bad transportation, or even big issues like pollution.
There are different types of engineering jobs, like working with machines, electricity, or chemicals, that focus on these problems. Engineers work on solving problems like making cars use less gas, building robots, or finding ways to reuse plastic. They help make technology better, improve how we live, and take care of the planet.
