WHAT IS AN ENGINEER?Engineers explore problems of society and try to fix them
These problems can be big or small
Engineers try to make modern technology more efficient and less costly
IDENIFY
THINK
PLAN
BUILD
TEST
MEDICAL ROBOTS
Medical robots are being developed to perform operations and can be potentially more accurate and consistent than human doctors
SOLAR PANELS Engineers are working on ways to make solar panels more efficient and less costly so that they can be used by a wider range of people
ELEPHANT PROSTHETIC Engineers have developed a prosthetic leg for an elephant who lost his leg by stepping on a land mine
KETCHUP BOTTLE LINING
Engineers from MIT have developed a lining for condiment bottles that makes sure all of the contents slide out of the bottle.
