How are engineers different How are engineers different from scientists?from scientists?
Scientists are interested in understanding Scientists are interested in understanding the world as it exists: they make discoveries.the world as it exists: they make discoveries.
Engineers are more interested in shaping the Engineers are more interested in shaping the world to meet human needs. They want to world to meet human needs. They want to find solutions to existing problems.find solutions to existing problems.

Engineering is a TEAM EffortEngineering is a TEAM Effort A team of engineers creates the design of a
structure and designs the separate parts.

We need a tall tower. A really tall tower!
Must use materials we have Must be free-standing & not fall over! Must work as a team Must finish before end of class
Step 1: Ask– Step 1: Ask– What’s the problem?What’s the problem?

Step 2: ImagineStep 2: Imagine
How can we do it, using the time and materials we have?
Share ideas! Any ideas!

Step 3: PlanStep 3: Plan
Use the sentence strips and cups as a base for your tower.
How will you stack the rest? Sideways? Straight?
Can you combine 2 good ideas into one? Or make one good idea better?

Step 5: ImproveStep 5: Improve
Stay with the current design
Modify the current design
Try an alternative solution
