Lesson Structure

Step Number Step Title Length Details
1 Introduction 5 mins Briefly introduce the lesson topic. Ask students what they think technology is.
2 Discuss Fields of Engineering 10 mins Present various fields of engineering (civil, mechanical, electrical, etc.) using a slideshow.
3 Exploration of Design Process 10 mins Explain the basic steps of the design process. Use a sample chart.
4 Group Activity 10 mins Divide students into small groups. Each group brainstorms a simple problem and outlines a design solution using sticky notes.
5 Share Ideas 3 mins Groups post their sticky notes on the board. Briefly discuss each idea as a class.
6 Wrap Up & Homework Assignment 2 mins Summarize key points. Assign homework to write a short paragraph about a type of engineering they are interested in.

Homework Assignment

Students will write a short paragraph (5-8 sentences) about a specific type of engineering that interests them and include an example of how it impacts technology in their daily lives.

Assessment

Homework will be collected and reviewed without presentations, allowing for individual feedback. Additionally, students' participation during group activities will be informally assessed to gauge their understanding of the material.
