Create a model or simulation for an engineering product, process, or idea.

Creation of a model must include a description of a pattern, plan, or representation and be designed to show a main object or workings of an object, system, or concept. The process used for the creation of a model should be based on one of the following model types and procedures:

• Physical model type—design a model, determine the scale, choose and obtain materials, and assemble
• Conceptual model type—present a clearly communicated story or series of images of the phenomenon
• Mathematical model type—determine the relationship between variables or procedural steps and translate them into mathematical symbols

Process/Skill Questions:

• What type of plan might one use for a physical model?
• How might a concept be modeled?
• How does one go about making a mathematical model?
