Big Ideas
- Engineers use well-defined criteria and constraints to create solutions to global challenges that meet societal needs and wants.
- Addressing complex problems involves considering multiple perspectives, including social, cultural, economic, and technical factors.
Essential Questions
- What makes a global challenge complex and difficult to solve?
- How do criteria and constraints influence the design of solutions to global problems?
- Why is it important to consider both societal needs and wants when designing solutions?
- How can qualitative and quantitative measures be balanced when evaluating potential solutions?
- What are the potential consequences of overlooking important constraints in a solution design?
