Typically, this results from over half of the teaching time in the school day being devoted to English and...

Iterative design is a design methodology based on a cyclic process of prototyping, testing, analyzing, and refining a product or process. Based on the results of testing the most recent iteration of a design, changes and refinements are made. , The Iterative Design Process

I am constantly fascinated by the huge number of things I discover I don’t know, particularly about entry into engineering
