The engineering process is a series of steps engineers follow to come up with a solution to any issue. This involves finding the goal as well as determining constraints, planning and building, and finally testing. This is an essential part of every project at TWI and it assists us in ensuring that our projects have high performance and safety standards. This is particularly crucial for New York City projects as they must meet the strictest requirements.
Students investigate the problem to better understand the problem and collect data. It’s an open-ended, centered on the student method that shifts the focus of the classroom away from traditional science instruction.
At this point, students come up with ideas for how they can solve the issue. This is done through discussions, writing on a whiteboard, or using software. It’s fine if some ideas do not work. They can test other options and try them.
After analysing and brainstorming the results, the team chooses an option to design and construct. It could be done printed on paper, using CAD software, or through an idea that can be physical or virtual. This is an exciting process for students as they are able to create something tangible to help them to test their solutions.
This is where the rubber meets the road for engineers since they must adhere to the limitations which are imposed on them, including cost and time tools, resources, and many more. Engineers also have to keep in mind that their solutions must be secure and efficient to be able to be utilized in the real world.
