Engineering Mindsets - Recorded Training
An engineering mindset involves systematic design, real-world problem-solving, math and science application, and teamwork. The Moonshot highlights 10 key engineering practices, which will be explored in upcoming briefs. Part 1: This webinar covers: 1) Real-world problem-solving, 2) Systematic problem-solving, and 3) Material properties and uses. Part 2: This webinar covers: 1) Balancing criteria and constraints, 2) Applying science and math, and 3) Envisioning multiple solutions. Part 3: This webinar covers: 1) Evaluating and iterating designs, 2) Learning from failure, 3) Team collaboration, and 4) Embracing an engineering identity. REGISTER HERE |
