Video Learning Notes

In this lesson, students learn to develop models that generate data through iterative testing and modification to achieve optimal designs. They understand the importance of defining criteria and constraints, systematically evaluating solutions, and using data to guide improvements. Through hands-on activities and discussions, students experience the engineering design process as a cycle of testing, analyzing, modifying, and retesting to create better solutions.

Learning Goals

• Explain how to develop a model that generates data for testing and modifying a proposed design.
• Use iterative testing and data analysis to improve an object, tool, or process.
• Identify criteria and constraints that affect design decisions and modifications.
• Analyze test data to determine how well a design meets specified criteria and constraints.
• Communicate reasoning and modifications clearly using models and evidence.
