Teaching students the problem-solving process used in STEM fields is fundamental to developing critical thinking skills. This step involves introducing them to a systematic approach, including defining problems, generating ideas, testing solutions, and refining their understanding.
Example:
In a project-based learning scenario, students are presented with a real-world problem, such as creating an eco-friendly packaging solution. They go through the engineering design process, brainstorming ideas, prototyping, and refining their designs based on testing and feedback.
How FACTT Can Assist:
FACTT offers workshops on the engineering design process, providing students with hands-on experience in solving problems. We guide them through the process, fostering collaboration and critical thinking skills crucial for success in STEM fields.
