Why this project?

Throughout the semester you have learned the basic skills of an engineer. You are able to design and create products with the use of various hand and power tools, communicate your ideas through sketching and drawing, and make use of CAD (Computer Aided Design) software. For your final project you will need to use all of the knowledge you have gained this semester and apply it towards creating a Co2 car which will take part in a race against your fellow classmates at the end of the semester. This project is a final test of your engineering ability, so make sure to give it your all!
