Students in Mr. Wood's Introduction to Engineering Design class review and apply an engineering design process to collaboratively design a carnival game. As part of the design process, students practice the art of brainstorming and begin to develop skills in graphically representing ideas through concept sketching. Students also develop and test a solution and improve the design through iteration. In addition, students learn statistical techniques to evaluate design solutions and apply statistics to inform design decisions related to their game design.
Introduction to Engineering Design is one of the courses offered in the new CTE Engineering Pathway at PHS. It is great to see how creative these students are and watch them apply all that they had learned in the designing and refining of their games.
