Teaching Pre-Engineering Education in the Global Environment using professional engineering process

Although today's engineering curriculum might be too complex and too broad to be taught at the K-12 level adequately, this is possible with the engineering process: brainstorming, trade study, prototyping and testing phases can be taught to students all the way from the high school level to the elementary level given the appropriate context.Global engineering education must prepare the students of today to become the professionals of tomorrow, where they are able to solve complex problems using the resources available to them at their schools and communities.This paper will explore the use of a robotics-based curriculum to teach students the engineering process used by today's professionals in the industry.
