Engineering is the application of scientific and mathematical principles to design and create practical solutions to real-world problems. It involves using creativity, critical thinking, and technical skills to invent, design, build, and maintain various structures, machines, systems, and processes.
Branches of Engineering
There are several branches of engineering, each focusing on different areas of study and application:
Earth's surface changes constantly through a variety of processes and forces. Students can:
Analyze and interpret data identifying ways Earth's surface is constantly changing through a variety of processes and forces such as plate tectonics, erosion, deposition, solar influences, climate, and human activity
Develop and communicate an evidence based scientific explanation around one or more factors that change Earth's surface
