Based on the theory of embodied cognition, this paper takes the engineering project of "designing and making a three-ball motion demonstration model" as the carrier. Through a series of embodied task-driven activities, students experience the three engineering processes of "problem-design-materialization". In practice, students perceive the essence of phenomena through embodiment, analyze limiting conditions through embodiment, carry out design optimization through embodiment, and ultimately achieve cognitive sublimation through embodied refl ection. This aims to promote the formation of engineering concepts, enhance engineering design capabilities, and cultivate good engineering thinking habits, thereby developing students' engineering literacy.
