Evaluation
Students
will be expected to completely design, construct and explain three different
amusement park rides. They will be evaluated on these three criteria as well as
how well they work together and the mechanics of their papers. Their grades
will be based on group as well as individual effort. The design and
construction grades will be assessed as a group grade while the analysis paper
will be assessed individually.
