The Moonshot believes that one of the primary goals of engineering education is to promote development of an engineering mindset.
An engineering mindset refers to the attitudes and thinking skills associated with engineering — using a systematic engineering design process, considering real-world problems, applying math and science, and working in teams.
Using these skills and many more, engineers design objects, systems, or processes that address the needs and desires of people, animals and society.
The Moonshot focuses on 10 engineering practices. An overview of each practice follows and subsequent briefs will explore each one individually.
