The engineering process is a series of steps engineers take to solve a problem. This includes the identification of an objective in the first place, determining constraints, and then designing, building and testing. This is an integral component of every project at TWI. It allows us to ensure that our projects meet high-performance and safety standards. This is especially important for New York City projects as they have to meet stringent requirements.
Students investigate the issue to better understand the problem and collect data. This is an open-ended and student-centered approach to science that engineering consultancies redirects classes away from traditional teaching.
Students brainstorm ways to solve the problem. This can be done by using software, whiteboard writing or discussion. Some ideas may not work, but that’s ok because it gives them the chance to test different ideas and find a better solution.
After reviewing the results of their research and brainstorming, the group selects one solution to design and construct. It could be done on paper, using the aid of CAD software or the creation of a prototype that is physical or virtual. This is an excellent step for students, as they can create a tangible prototype that will allow them to test their solutions.
This is where the rubber meets the road for engineers because they have to stay within the constraints that are imposed upon them like cost time tools, resources, and more. Engineers also have to be aware that their solutions must be safe and efficient to be able to be utilized in the real world.
