Building a Desalination Plant from Scratch: Crash Course Engineering #44

An essential part of engineering is engineering design. In this episode of Crash Course Engineering, we’ll see how design synthesis helps you put together the components of a process and decide what techniques are needed to solve your problem. We’ll explain the need to test things on a smaller scale before ramping up to full production, and how to continually incorporate feedback from design flaws to improve your designs.

Crash Course Engineering is produced in association with PBS Digital Studios.
