Video Learning Notes

In this lesson, students learn how to tackle complex real-world problems by breaking them down into smaller, manageable sub-problems. They apply engineering design principles to develop, evaluate, and justify solutions for each part, considering criteria, constraints, and trade-offs. This approach helps make challenging problems solvable and prepares students for real engineering challenges.

Learning Goals

  • Define a complex real-world problem and identify its criteria and constraints.
  • Break down a complex problem into smaller, manageable sub-problems suitable for engineering solutions.
  • Design solutions to each sub-problem using engineering principles.
  • Evaluate and compare different design solutions based on evidence, constraints, and trade-offs.
  • Justify design decisions by explaining why one solution is stronger than another using evidence and criteria.
