that’s engineering

That’s Engineering is presented as a series of stories and conversations about engineering ideas, interesting problems and solutions.

This is an Introduction to Engineering – the Engineering 4 Kids online learning experience with overviews of engineering ideas, collaborative learning and activities for kids and their educators.

Stories and conversation

1. Engineering is… – intro to engineering * engineering design process * scientific method
2. Measurements and units * testing
3. Spatial thinking * 3d modeling * CAD
4. Engineering fundamentals * problem solving * question formulation technique
5. Applied math * data analysis, computer aided design, machine learning
6. Systems * life * earth * physical
7. Simulation, models and virtual reality * failure analysis
8. Meet the engineers
9. Engineering challenges * understand apply create PSA
10. Share what you know * portfolio * PSA 30-90 seconds
11. Lifelong learning * learning web literacy * reading writing arithmetic * collaboration presentation

We will explore how engineering plays a big part in our “built environment” as well as how scientists do their work with the help of engineers.
