Lesson #3: Modifying a Design
This the third lesson in a series of lessons that introduce the engineering design process to middle schoolers. In this lesson students will go through the design process twice modifying their original prototype based on a set of criteria and constraints. The main take away for the students is that there are many ways to modify a design, and that each modification must meet the criteria for the identified solution.

This lesson was designed because students love to compete, and it primes them to use the Engineering Design process to build a boat and revise their design as needed. Students must use at least one
This hands-on lesson helps students understand the properties of 3D solids from their 2D base shapes and teaches them how to use CAD software to build their own 3D models of real-world objects by
Students will design and construct a prototype of a tiny house on wheels. They will use graph paper to draw out their ideal tiny house on wheels, ensuring the sizing of the rooms and ceilings are
