Engineers use a process when building. We talked about the steps to designing and building.
Step 1: Define the problem. Ask questions!
Step 2: Imagine/Come up with an idea
Step 3: Plan
Step 4: Create
Step 5: Improve
A lot of times Engineers design something that will solve a problem, like a bridge. As they work through the steps their design is imagined, planned out, created, and then improved upon. Just think about the car industry. Each year new cars are designed that have been improved upon from the previous year! Engineers are always thinking of how to make their creation better.
We used the steps to Engineering to build Lego cars that were powered by air (balloons)!
