Think of a Solution
**Do not discuss your ideas yet. Just brainstorm for a few minutes and then we
will share.
You are given one page of a newspaper. Your challenge is to think of a way that two people could stand on this one sheet of newspaper
without being able to touch each other.
You have two minutes.

Our Kids Think Like This Too!
…if we let them.Too many times we tell them exactly what we want and exactly how to get there.
But really, isn’t our real objective for them to learn the concepts and information?
Does it really matter what path their mind takes to understanding?

Why would you want to integrate the Engineering Design Process in your curriculum?

Why would you want to integrate the Engineering Design Process in your curriculum?

Why would you want to integrate the Engineering Design Process in your
curriculum?
It makes your already existing projects and assignments more student driven, therefore less
work for you and more ownership for them. (Which
means more learning!)

We All Want To Be That Teacher!
But how can we do that when we have so much information we have to
cover? I mean really, our evaluation depends on their test performance!!!
I GET IT!

What’s My Point?
Point 1- The Engineering Design Process is critical
thinking at its best! Take your already existing assignment and easily elevate it to focus on the higher order thinking
skills.

![Page 12: Thinking Like an Engineer Bridging the Gap 2014 Room 2 3pm Michelle Smith michelle.smith@craven.k12.nc.us](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110323/56649d8d5503460f94a75bbc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What’s My Point?
Point 2- The EDP allows and actually forces students to be
in control of their own learning. You give the
requirements of what their final product needs to
accomplish and they figure out how to make it happen.

What’s My Point?
Point 3- The EDP can be modified to fit ANY grade level
or curriculum!
• 10th Grade English• Kindergarten• 8th Grade ELA
