Engineering Worksheet: What Engineers Do

Engineering lesson 1: What engineers do · Set 765 · 40 questions

Engineer's tip (Problem first, then solution): Engineered things are designed and built by people; natural things are made by nature. Every invention meets a need: ask “what problem goes away when we have it?”. Scientists ask why things happen; engineers ask how to build something useful.
