Abstract

The integration of the Engineering Design Process (EDP) in STEM education has proven to be an effective pedagogical approach, fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaborative skills among students. This paper presents a case study of a project involving the design, creation, and programming of a crane’s control circuit unit, utilizing environments and platforms such as Tinkercad and Micro:Bit. The project phases include an introduction to the scientific and engineering concepts of cranes, circuit design, programming, simulation, and physical implementation. This educational methodology not only enhances students’ understanding of theoretical concepts but also provides hands-on experience with practical applications. The results of this study highlight the achievements and challenges faced by students during the project, offering insights into the effective integration of EDP in STEM education.
