Engineering Design Process Worksheet –  Ultrasonic Sensor in Tinkercad

The engineering design process is a series of steps that engineers follow to come up with a solution to a problem.

Steps of the Engineering Design Process:

(1) Ask questions to identify problems or needs.
(2) Ask questions about the criteria and constraints of the device or solutions.
(3) Generate and communicate ideas for possible devices or solutions.
(4) Build and test devices or solutions.
(5) Determine if the devices or solutions solved the problem and refine the design if needed.
(6) Communicate the results.

Video Guide:

  1. What steps of the engineering design process did this roller coaster engineer demonstrate in the video?
Video Guide: 
    1. This video features a number of different engineering projects created by students at Duke University which project(s) highlighted in this video were most interesting to you?
    2. Were these students following the same engineering design process we learned about in this module?  If so, how?  If not, identify the differences.
