Step 6: Present the Solution
Step 4: Construct & Test a Prototype
Step 1: Define the Problem
Engineering Design Process definition
Step 3: Develop a solution
Step 2: Generate Concepts
Step 5: Evaluate the Solution
We learned about the the chemistry of glue, how to make glue, and which glue is stronger
Set of steps used to design a solution to a problem
We do this by seeing how much the bridge hols and then discussing & thinking of ways to improve on the idea/design
We discussed or will discuss in our groups which glue to use AND how to design the bridge
We do this by having a class competition to see how our design compares to other designs
We do this by building the bridge based on our design. We then experiment to see how much it holds
Determine how to make glue & use it to design and build a mini toothpick bridge that holds the most weight
