Design Brief #1: Mousetrap Racer

Submitted by:
Mayor, Kirstin Anne C.
Molina, Kiel Margarette T.

The Task:
As a future engineer, you must be able to develop plans based on research and follow them to completion. Engineers often have to make modifications to their original plans because of factors that may have changed or weren’t considered in the original design. Successful engineers keep a design notebook to document ideas, observations, and challenges. This notebook is a resource that helps them reflect and make improvements based on their experience. In addition to the performance of your mousetrap racer, you will be judged on the quality of your design notebook. Your design notebook could be as simple as sketch paper stapled together.
