The purpose of this activity is to learn about the different categories of engineering (civil, mechanical, electrical, and chemical) and then research a specific type of engineering that falls under one of those categories. The webquest will start with students researching and defining the four categories of engineering. Next, students will choose, or you will assign them, a type of engineering from the cards provided. Students will align their type with one of the four categories and defend th

In this challenge, students will practice using the engineering design process by redesigning something they see and use every day: a school desk. This challenge will last four class periods during which paired or grouped students will redesign their desk, create a prototype, and present their solutions. The engineering design process is a fundamental procedure every aspiring engineer should know. This challenge will have students explore the steps of the engineering design process as described
