Introduction
In this resource students identify an engineering project to address a practical need in an environment they're familiar with. As part of this process they will be introduced to a range of creativity techniques and team working skills through an engineering design cycle.
The project tasks include practical, investigative activities, group work (e.g. team planning meetings), and a series of individual paper-and-pencil exercises (e.g. writing reports, mathematical exercises).
