Learning Objective
I can ask questions about a problem and how to fix it.
Key Concepts
An engineer is someone who makes something that solves a problem, which is also called a solution.
When engineers are trying to find a solution to a problem, they follow the steps: ask, imagine, create, and improve.
A model is something that looks or acts like a thing in the real world, and engineers use them to see if their idea actually works and solves the problem.
