Data Collection Recollection
Connections:
Engineers analyze data to understand the problem, to compare different solutions, and to test how well each meets design criteria. This helps them determine which design optimally solves the problem they are addressing. Engineers need tools to collect data during the design process.
In this section, you will explore several data collection tools available to you and your students so that you can make an informed decision about which tool to learn more about in upcoming trainings.
Objective(s):
- Explore tools for data collection in engineering design experiences.
- Plan for the completion of the Tech Lab training in Cycle 1.
Reflection:
Think back to the airplane contest design experience you completed with your school cohort in session S203, Integrating Engineering.
What tools did you use to collect qualitative data?
What tools did you use to collect quantitative data?
What challenges or limitations did you have collecting data with the tools you used?
What additional types of data would have helped in the redesign and improvement of the designed planes?
