Along with Venn Diagrams and Webs, the Engineering Design Process is a useful graphic organizer to add to the mix when working through STEM projects.
The Engineering Design Process, sister to the Scientific Method, is a series of steps that engineers use to create a viable solution to a problem or issue. Â I have two different versions that I use and I bounce between them depending on the grade level and ability of the students I’m working with.
The first version is a six step, simplified version for use with either lower ability students, primary grade levels or (honestly) if my higher ability/ higher grade level kids need more room to write or sketch.
The second version is a little more fleshed out and contains eight steps. Â I tend to use that one for higher ability students or projects that are more detail oriented.
Both follow the same process and contain the same basic steps, but I like having two different versions to best meet the needs of the students I’m working with.
