Show Notes
A highlight of engineering is the decision-making process that we utilize. That aspect is exciting to students.
Coach them to start with the end in mind: who do you want to be, where do you want to go, what do you want to do? Then, help them evaluate the obstacles using observations, problem-solving, and decision-making approaches.
