The Objective Your task is to design and build the fastest Non-CO dragster. You will race your cars at the conclusion of this unit. The Process You will research, design, build, and race a Non-CO dragster. There are 4 phases you will be doing: Engineering PhaseFind an engineer that works on dragsters or cars o What type of engineers would work on a dragsters/cars? List all of them o What are the different responsibilities of those engineers on dragsters/cars? o How much does that type of engineer earn for a year that works on dragsters/cars? o Find at least one type of engineer and pick an engineer that you will represent during this project. ASK Phase 1Research and Background Reading o What is the Best Design? Turn in for grade o Engineering is Like a Balancing Act! o Non-CO Dragster Answer Sheet IMAGINE AND PLAN Phase Designing and Planning o Drawing Thumbnail Sketches Turn in at least 3 for grade o Completing Rough Sketches Turn in for grade o Making Working Drawings CREATE and IMPROVE Phase Building and Re-Building o Drilling, Cutting, Shaping o Painting o Assembling o Testing The Final Grading and Rubric Rubric
o How much does that type of engineer earn for a year that works on dragsters/cars?
o Do you think this could be a future job for you? Why or why not?
2. What design features are in a real dragster that should not be in your Non-CO dragster and why?
6. How should you design your car so that it will be the fastest?
7. Where should the weight of your car be, in the back or front?________ Please explain.
