HOMEWORK – Work on Engineering Design Summative Assessment

Report to your Aeronautical Engineer Team

(Summative Assignment)

Directions:

You are an engineer investigating devices that land slow.  

Write a report describing your team’s plan to build a lander prototype.  

In your report, include the following:

1. Explain how your team will work together to build the lander prototype.
2. Describe the main structural features for the lander your team plans to build using evidence based on your previous experience(s) and any research that you plan to do.
3. Include a diagram with labels of your prototype.
4. Word Bank
   1. you should use all of the following terms
   2. terms should be underlined or highlighted the first time they are used only
   3. terms should be numbered 1-12 in the order that you use them
