engineering design vs scientific method
DESCRIPTION
A brief presentation comparing the Engineering Design process with the Scientific Method. Presented for high school teachers that are looking for more ways to incorporate engineering into their curriculum (as a way to greater excite the students). See http://www.dyfference.org for more.TRANSCRIPT

What is Engineering Design?
Engineering Design is the systematic, intelligent generation and evaluation of specifications for artifacts whose form and function achieve stated objectives and satisfy specified constraints.

What is Engineering Design?
Engineering design is the process of devising a system, component, or process to meet desired needs. It is a decision-making process (often iterative), in which the basic sciences, mathematics, and the engineering sciences are applied to convert resources optimally to meet these stated needs.
