    Engineers use science and math to solve real-world problems. They design and build many of the contraptions people use every day, ranging from engines and computers to space colonies and medical devices. The document provides examples of different types of engineers and their projects, such as chemical engineers separating oil from water, mechanical engineers designing more efficient car engines, and biomedical engineers developing ways to control computers with thoughts. It also outlines the engineering design process of identifying problems, researching solutions, testing and modifying designs, and continually improving solutions.

     What would the world be like without


    engineers?

     Look at the following comics and


    figure out what engineers do!

    Engineers are Inventors!
     Engineers use science and math to solve real
    world problems!
     What are some of the types of engineers you’ve
    heard of?
     Possibly:
    Chemical, electrical, mechanical, software, civil,
    biomedical, and environmental. AND MANY MORE!
    Look around you, virtually every manmade contraption
    you see was conceived of and created by an
    engineer!
    Now let’s take a look at some
    real life engineers and what
    they’re working on right now!
    Separating Oil from Water
     Di Gao, a chemical engineer at the University of
    Pittsburg, invented a plastic-coated cotton
    material that could clean up the Gulf.
    Designing Better Cars

     Marcus Ashford, a
    mechanical engineer at
    the University of
    Alabama, has invented a
    car engine with 80% less
    exhaust emissions.
    Cleaning Up the Ocean
     Alexandria Boehm is an environmental engineer who
    works on ways to clean up oceans near where people
    live.
    Designing Space Colonies

     Kimberly Jones is a civil engineer working on


    purifying water so that we can one day go to Mars!!!
    Controlling Computers with
    Thoughts
     Daniel Moran, a biomedical engineer at Washington
    University, has invented a way to play video games
    using only the human mind!
    Listening for Cancer

    • John Viator, a
    biological engineer,
    has invented a way to
    hear cancer cells.

    You will be an Engineer!
     Throughout this curriculum, you will answer:
    1. What is the problem that we have?
    2. What can you find out about the problem?
    3. What ideas are there already out there that could help us
    solve the problem?
    4. How can you use those ideas to determine a solution?
    5. What would your design look like?
    6. Build and test it. Does your design work?
    7. Show others!
    8. Make it better!
