Design Project
 During the second semester of Introduction to
Engineering, you work with one team.
 Your team will design, build, and test a
conveyor/sorter system to sort recyclables.
 You will be expected to complete weekly
assignments, keep a project notebook, show
that your conveyor works, and document your
design well enough to allow another team to
build it.
Assignment

Try to improve on the ideas your team
developed in class.
Read all materials on the design-build
project and be prepared to ask questions
on areas that are unclear.
