Basic Engineering Design Challenge
![](https://stem.hcoe.net/wp-content/uploads/anne-gears-feature_png-1-520x245.png)
The basic engineering design process is a series of steps that engineers follow to come up with a solution to a problem. Many times the solution involves designing a product (like a machine or computer code) that meets certain criteria and/or accomplishes a certain task. This activity models a simple challenge to teach the design process […]
