may prefer, like robotics competitions, science fairs, and so on. The
context of the module is creative problem solving and applied math and science.
Weekly Design Challenges and a comprehensive engineering
design project. This module may be used with CETA's Computer aided design
module and any of the other engineering modules as the model design process.
The units and lessons within the module are:
-
The Design Process.
-
Requirements.
-
Design Solutions.
-
Prototypes.
-
Test and Evaluation.
-
Design Documentation.
-
Design Laboratory. Students or teams will
