Lesson #2: Engineering Design Process
by Kathy Hartley
This is the second lesson in a series of lesson designed to introduce the engineering design process to middle schoolers. In this lesson students will use the engineering design process reverse engineer a coffee cup racer. They will test their design against the original. The main take away for the student is that testing the design is an important part of the process.
