Learn on PengiAmplify Science (California) Grade 8Chapter 1: Fighting Drug-Resistant Malaria

Lesson 3: Professional Communication and Application

Key Idea.

Section 1

Constructing an Evidence-Based Proposal

Key Idea

The final step of an engineering internship is communicating the solution.

A strong engineering proposal is built on a logical argument structure. It begins with a claim—the proposed optimal treatment plan.

Section 2

Applying Natural Selection to New Problems

Key Idea

The principles used to solve the malaria problem apply to other biological challenges. The mechanism of natural selection is universal.

For instance, farmers face a similar problem with pesticide resistance in insects. Just as drugs select for resistant parasites, chemical pesticides select for resistant bugs. By applying the same engineering principles—such as using combination treatments or rotating chemicals—we can manage resistance in agriculture just as we do in medicine.
