Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science

1. ETS1: Engineering Design

1.1. ETS1.A: Defining and Delimiting and Engineering Problem

1.1.1. A situation that needs to be solved or created can be approached as a problem to be solved through engineering

1.1.2. Many acceptable solutions

1.1.2.1. asking questions. making observations , and gathering information are helpful to think about the problems

1.1.3. Before coming up with a solution the problem has to be clearly defined

1.2. ETS1.B: Developing Possible Solutions

1.2.1. Designs can be used to show possible solutions

1.2.1.1. sketches, drawings or physical models

1.2.1.1.1. These designs can communicate solutions to people's problems

1.2.2. If the design is complicated it should be broken apart into different parts and then tested all together

1.2.2.1. This will test overall plan

1.3. ETS1.C: Optimizing the Design Solution

1.3.1. Multiple solutions to the problem

1.3.1.1. compare designs

1.3.1.1.1. test them
