How might engineering design experiences purposefully use data?
The engineering process includes the need to test solutions. In this section, we will look at how to guide students in setting up fair tests and then how to interpret and visually represent the resulting data so students can communicate their results clearly and effectively.
Section Outcomes
In this section, we will investigate how data is essential in engineering design, by:
exploring the use of data and argumentation in the design process.
examining different types of graphs and their purposes.
analyzing data for high, low, pattern and anomalies.
