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 project involving design, creation, programming crane’s control circuit unit, utilizing environments platforms such as Tinkercad Micro:Bit. phases include introduction scientific engineering concepts cranes, programming, simulation, physical implementation. educational methodology not only enhances students’ understanding theoretical but also provides hands-on experience with practical applications. results this highlight achievements challenges faced by students during project, offering insights into EDP education.
