Engineering inquiries, though, may not be as central to the show, to run through next July, as the chance to reflect.

The illustration connects situated learning, engineering design, scientific inquiry, technological literacy, and mathematical thinking as an integrated system.
Although that is common in German manufacturing, a patriarchic world of brainy engineering and patient scientific inquiry, this company's paternalism takes the form of Mrs. Leibinger-Kammüller, 49, a thin woman with lively eyes, four children and an affinity for clunky pearl necklaces.
Additionally, both engineering design and scientific inquiry accentuate learning by doing (Purzer et al. 2015).
Another key point of commonality between engineering design and scientific inquiry is that both emphasize learning by doing.
Earlier studies indicated that there are four main engineering elements which are inquiry, design, optimisation and sustainability.
TRAILS partners science and technology teachers during a 2-week summer professional development workshop to prepare the teachers to integrate STEM content through science inquiry and engineering design in the context of entomology.
Though there is a notable difference between engineering design and scientific inquiry, two central ways they converge according to Purzer et al. (2015) are "(a) reasoning processes such as analogical reasoning as navigational devices to bridge the gap between problem and solution and (b) uncertainty as a starting condition that demands expenditure of cognitive resources…" (p. 2).
He said he had already had inquiries from engineering companies interested in giving the device to employees who produce drawings in the field.
