Big Ideas
- Successful engineering design requires carefully evaluating solutions using specific criteria and constraints.
- Using a systematic process is essential for comparing and selecting the best solution to a design problem.
Essential Questions
- What makes one design solution more effective than another?
- How can we use a systematic process to compare design solutions?
- Which criteria and constraints are most important when selecting a solution to a problem?
- How does evaluating different solutions help us choose the best one?
- In what ways does evidence support our choice of the best design solution?
