The primary objective of the introductory engineering projects course is to provide an overview of engineering careers, primarily through open-ended, hands-on design experiences. This text and ...

The Engineering Design Process is a set of steps that engineers use to find a solution to a problem. The problems they solve can be very complex, like sending people to the Moon, or very simple, like ...

All engineers are familiar with the engineering design cycle in one form or another. While each step may be represented differently in different interpretations, design is always understood to be a ...

Get to know the middle school (grades 6-8) Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for engineering. See examples of how the standards relate to real-world engineering at NASA JPL, and meet the ...

Early decisions made during front-end engineering design can shape an FPSO’s performance for decades. Swagelok’s Brian Rudary examines how fluid system design, material selection and standardization ...

Ferdinand Adolf Heinrich August Graf von Zeppelin was an engineer whose self-named company made the first successful rigid airship. The path from his inspiration during a balloon trip in Minnesota in ...

Industry 4.0 is not only giving us the ability to do things faster, better and cheaper (to use obsolete NASA terminology), but it is changing the way we look at the entire product lifecycle. No longer ...

Computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools have the power to take the gut feel and rules of thumb out of the engineering world. The old guard shouting, “This is the way we always did it,” won’t cut it in ...

"Engineering design process allows students to use mathematics and science inquiry to create and conduct experiments that will inform the learner about the function and performance of potential design ...
