Books in the Be An Engineer! Designing to Solve Problems series

Domes have an amazing ability to withstand forces such as weather and weight. This unique book shows readers how engineers use the engineering design process to design dome-shaped structures that suit the environments in which they are built. A model-building activity allows them to design their own dome...

Houses are structures that allow people to meet their basic need for shelter. From its design to the materials used to build it, engineers design houses to withstand many different weather conditions and suit many different environments. Child-centered language takes readers through the engineering design process to design a house to solve a...

From roundabouts 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. A model-building activity allows readers to step into the shoes of...

This interesting 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. A model-building activity allows them to design their own tower...
