Suppose it’s pouring down rain.
You’re outside getting soaked, and there’s nowhere to go to get out of the rain. That’s a problem. The solution? An umbrella or maybe a jacket made of waterproof material.
Coming up with solutions to problems is what engineers do. When engineers work to solve problems, they use a process called the design process. You don’t have to be an engineer to use the design process. Anyone can use it. . . including you.
