It’s the 21st century! Show your students that they can be a graphic designer for the tech industry too! In this ETP, Students will develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity skills beyond what they imagined.
All living things need to obtain materials in order to stay alive. Chemotaxis is the directed movement towards or away from a chemical stimulus. In many cases, chemotaxis is a matter of life or death, so sensing and acting on feedback from the environment is a crucial life function.
The days of cookie cutter jobs and cookie cutter workers are rapidly ending. Automation and artificial intelligence will replace many jobs that exist today. The jobs that remain will require creativity, collaboration and flexibility – the so-called "21st-Century skills."
Following the steps of the design thinking process and acting as bioengineers, students will use everyday materials to design and develop devices and/or approaches to unclog model blood vessels.
The goal of this ETP is to introduce and practice the engineering design process in a fun and high interest manner: by designing a balloon “rocket” that uses a straw and various types of string to travel a distance in the fastest possible time.
Unclogging Artery is an engineering project that challenges students to develop a device to treat coronary heart disease. Students will follow the design process and record their actions and reflections in an Engineering Notebook.
This lesson is designed to drop into the Project Lead The Way (PLTW) course on product design called Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) but it is suitable for any CAD class or engineering design curriculum.
The goal of this ETP is to introduce and practice the engineering design process in a fun and high interest manner: by designing a board game which will help reinforce previously taught content.
The main objective of this lesson is to enable students to practice the engineering design process and recognize different actions as part of specific steps in the design process.
