Engineered Composite Building Products (HS)
Students can use engineering design skills to build a composite material flooring tile that
investigates and analyzes data to explain the mathematical relationship between force, mass, and acceleration while determining best material properties for society needs and wants.
objectives
• Students will understand how material properties and design can influence impact strength and damage from different valued forces.
• Students will use data to explain the mathematical relationship amount force, mass, and acceleration.
• Students will analyze the quantitative data to determine best material properties for composite material
flooring that accounts for societal need and wants.
