1. Engineering Design Central Concepts: Engineering design involves practical problem solving, research, development, and invention/innovation, and requires designing, drawing, building, testing, and redesigning. Students should demonstrate the ability to use the engineering design process to solve a problem or meet a challenge.
1.1 Identify and explain the steps of the engineering design process: identify the problem, research the problem, develop possible solutions, select the best possible solution(s), construct prototypes and/or models, test and evaluate, communicate the solutions, and redesign. Identify the problem Research the Redesign problem
Develop solutions
Construct a prototype
Write down the original problem here. Student - Design, build and program a robot to: Push another robot out of the circle What constraints have been placed on your team? (Deadlines, resources etc.)

Explore other options via the internet Student: List the internet sites that were helpful. Site 1 nxt programs.com _____________________ Site 2_____________________ Site 3 _____________________
What did you learn from your research? A how to build a sumo bot______________________ B we shouldve used a gear ratio ______________________ C the robot should be low to the ground______________________
Student : Share your ideas with your design team. List your ideas below. 1. Robot should be lo to the ground____________________________________ 2. Use 3 motors_____________________________________ 3. Use a strong shield ____________________________________-
Student: Describe which solution(s) best meet the need or solve the problem. Describe exactly what idea or mixture of ideas your design team decided on for the first robot prototype? Use the next slide for your response.
Our prototype will have 3 motors, each of them using the biggest wheels. Our prototype will be low the ground and hopefully strong. Our robot needs to have a large strong shield to push the other robot out of the circle. Lastly our robot needs to be very stable and hopefully well win.
Build a robot with your NXT lego kit Create a computer program for your robot. Use the next slide(s) for the digital pictures of your prototypes and computer programs.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
Does your robot work? Did it perform as expected? What changes are necessary for the robot and the program? Does it meet the original design constraints? Is it safe? Lab work- Modify your robot project and use the next slide to post a picture of your improved robot project.

Redesign
Overhaul the solution(s) based on information gathered during testing and self-assessment activity.
Demonstrate the ability to use technology for research, critical thinking, problem solving, decision making, communication, collaboration, creativity, and innovation.
