Be an engineer! Designing to solve problems

An introduction to the engineering of dams.

An introduction to the design process for skyscrapers.

Discover 25 women who designed their own futures. From dancers to musicians to artists, these women drew from their imaginations and dreamed of the impossible.

"Engineers design structures using domes because of their amazing ability to withstand outside forces such as weather and weight. This . . . book shows readers how engineers use the engineering design process to design dome-shaped structures that suit the environments in which they are built. Reader-centered examples illustrate concepts for children, and a model-building activity allows them to design their own dome solutions"--Amazon.

"Engineers design roads to be as safe and efficient as possible for the people who travel on them. From roundabouts and speed bumps to the routes that roads take, readers will learn how engineers follow the engineering design process to design roads that suit different environments and people who will use them. Vibrant photographs, child-centered examples, and a model-building activity allow readers to step into the shoes of engineers"--Amazon.

An introduction to the engineering design process for houses.

An introduction to the design process for tunnels.

"Towers are tall, narrow structures used for many purposes, from measuring and predicting weather to offering a bird's-eye view of surroundings. This . . . book takes children through the engineering design process, giving them an inside look at how engineers design towers to suit specific purposes and hold steady in different environments"--Provided by publisher.

"Created to support NGSS, the Be An Engineer! series explains how different structures are designed by engineers to solve problems. Each title takes readers through the steps of the engineering design process to explain how an everyday structure is designed to overcome physical obstacles to meet peoples' needs. Real-world examples, vibrant photographs, and fact boxes reinforce learning, and readers design and create their own model structures. A link printed inside each book gives readers access to Crabtree Plus, a secure website with supplemental digital content, including engaging simulations and interactive activities that reinforce and extend key series' concepts."--.
