The following slideshow is required at the end of the Mechanics Unit. The slideshow must be submitted before the final unit conference with the teacher. The first set of slides in the slideshow (Slides 1-6) cover a choice of Case Studies (engineering failures, firearms/ballistics, or cars). The second set of slides (Slides 7-10) cover a career exploration. The career exploration list is shown below:
