The purpose of integrating engineering into the K-12 curriculum is to engage students in using a systematic process to design solutions to real-world problems. The engineering design process is a series of steps that guide engineers to solve problems and can be integrated into the general music curriculum to provide students with opportunities to explore and engage in music innovation.
