Sample Design Brief

Sample Digital Design Notebook

Example #1

Engineering Design Challenge: A storm has knocked out the power at your home. While working under specific criteria and constraints, design a working flashlight using simple electrical and everyday materials.

Example #2

Investigate the pH level of household substances by testing a variety of common compounds. Engage in experimental design to conduct a water quality field study to test the pH of water in a local wetland area.
