WE HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU
How can we use Engineering to design a roadway that is safe, accessible, environmentally sustainable, fun to use, and beautiful to look at?
This type of engineering is called URBAN PLANNING.
But there are so many big considerations! Where do we start?
THE ENGINEERING PROCESS
Define the problem
Do your research
Develop a possible solution
Design your solution
Build a prototype
Test it
Evaluate your solution
