A Bad Case of Stripes Engineering Design Process STEM Challenge Journal
Engineering is the practice of using natural science, mathematics, and the engineering design process to solve technical problems, increase efficiency and productivity, and improve systems. Students should engage in the engineering design process regularly through STEM challenges. The Engineering Design Process is a set of steps that engineers follow to find a solution to a problem. These steps are iterative which means that engineers repeat them as needed to improve their work with each cycle.
