Rokenbok, Foundational Fluencies, Unit 3: Is It Strong?

Introduce students to one of the primary tasks of engineering: making things strong. In this unit, students expand on their growing understanding of engineering and what it means to be an engineer. The activities engage them with a real-life problem that often faces engineers: how to make things strong. Students also learn part of the design cycle by testing their designs and improving them.
