Abstract	The "big bad wolf" chased the squealing children around the playground as they looked for a place to hide. Because Mr. Lòpez and Ms. Kim had introduced the work of engineers and the engineering design process into their unit on The Three Little Pigs, they knew their preschool students would choose a structure that could withstand any huffing and puffing from the wolf. They also knew that their students could do the work of engineers because it aligns with children's desire to help people or, in this case, three little pigs, and it taps into their natural curiosity and problem-solving abilities. This article presents a 10 day teaching unit on preschool students learning about engineering through designing and testing homes. The unit includes: (1) Day 1: Meeting the Three Little Pigs; (2) Day 2: Researching and Planning; (3) Days 3-4: Creating a Prototype and Testing; (4) Days 5-8: Creating and Testing Houses; and (5) Day 9-10: Hosting an Open House.
