DuPont Challenge Google Science Fair Siemens Competition eCybermission Microsoft Imagine Cup FIRST LEGO League Real World Design Challenge Toshiba ExploraVision Imagine Tomorrow Getting Started on an Engineering Design Project/Invention Engineering projects focus on DESIGN and producing a PHYSICAL PRODUCT. If you have a question that could be answered by creating something to solve a problem, you should consider exploring through an engineering design. On the other hand, if you have a project that focuses on RESEARCH and producing KNOWLEDGE about the world, you should consider learning more about scientific investigations. A separate Student Manual for that category can be found at the STEM Exposition resources webpage. Important Note for Students Using this Handbook: If you are participating in the STEM Expo as part of a class assignment: Follow all instructions from your teacher very carefully as you move through the engineering design process. This handbook may serve to give you a few more ideas and resources to consider. If you are doing this project without your class and will be entering only the STEM Expo: Feel free to use a blend of the strategies presented in this handbook in a way that best suits your style! Before you start your investigation, you will need to have your procedure/plans approved for health and safety issues. Contact Mary Glodowski at the Edmonds School District for approval, to register for the STEM Expo, and if you have questions or need support with your project.
