How does it work? Engineers constantly ask themselves that question. They are born makers, tinkerers, fiddlers and thinkers. They bring us the gadgets and tools that make our world better, easier, faster, safer and more fun!

Reverse engineering is an opportunity to discover the technological principles of a device, object, or system by analyzing its structure, function, and operation. It involves taking something (e.g., a mechanical device or electronic component) apart and analyzing its workings in detail.

Requirements for this project:
Students must:
● Locate and acquire two similar mechanical products (ie: product should have same function but may be different brands or generations)
● Research the products to learn about how they were developed
● Disassemble both products in order to learn how the components work together.
● Use photography or detailed drawings of assembled and disassembled products to show the components and connections.
● Write a report to share new learning.
● Create a presentation about the product that demonstrates a thorough understanding of its function and the cause and effect relationships within the product.
Important Guidelines for Engineers:
● mechanical or electrical in nature, contain several major components, and are made from a variety of materials
● a real world item who’s operation is not generally well understood
● reasonable and allows for disassembly to adequate levels
● operation of assembled unit can be fully explained
● able to be safely disassembled to represent all components
● components can described and explained adequately, materials are identifiable
