| Description | Students learn the engineering design process by following the steps, from problem identification to designing a device and evaluating its efficacy and areas for improvement. Acting as biomedical engineers, students are asked to design a device to remove it. Students learn the engineering design process by following the steps, from problem identification to designing a device and evaluating its efficacy and areas for improvement. A quick story at the beginning of the activity sets up the challenge: A small child put a pebble in his ear and we don't know how to get it out! Acting as biomedical engineers, students are asked to design a device to remove it. Each student pair is provided with a model ear canal and a variety of classroom materials. A worksheet guides the design process as students create devices and attempt to extract pebbles from the ear canal. |
