The Design-Build-Test Lab

What does this filter include?

In the Design Build and Test Lab, students tackle projects by creating and evaluating their own solutions based on specific design criteria. These hands-on activities not only engage students in the practical application of engineering principles but also teach them to select parameters/components, analyse and improve their designs through open-ended and destructive testing. This process helps them understand the importance of iterative design and critical thinking, preparing them for future engineering challenges. 

Here are some examples of the Design-Build-Test filter being applied:

Notes and limitations of applying this filter

This lab Filter allows students to tackle projects by designing, building, and testing their own solutions based on specific design criteria. Its a lot to cram into one lesson, so just make sure you budget your time well!
