In this lesson, students develop an understanding of the critical role communication plays in an engineer’s life. Students create products to communicate their learning about the engineering role in the environment.

Engineers document their evolving design work in the form of sketches, drawings, prototypes and test results, as part of the scientific process. Dated proof of their ideas may also help them acquire a patent —ownership of a product, preventing anyone else from stealing or copying the product. Understand and explain why engineers create products to communicate their ideas. Know that engineers must document their evolving design work as part of the scientific process. 50TeachEngineering.orgAmy KolenbranderJessica ToddMalinda Schaefer ZarskeJanet YowellForman, Carole. “Antarctica,” Earth Prayers From Around the World: 365 Prayers, Poems, and Invocations For Honoring The Earth, edited by Elizabeth Roberts and Elias Amidon, San Francisco: Harper Books, 1991.http://www.uspto.gov/go/kids/S11416DAInternational_Technology_Education_Association-ITEA_STL_StandardsTechnologyC.
