This project was adapted in large part directly from the WebQuest designed by Jim Gillett at Cheney Middle School in Kansas

Engineering is the art of modelling materials we do not wholly understand, into shapes we cannot precisely analyze

so as to withstand forces we cannot properly assess, in such a way that the public has no reason to suspect

the extent of our ignorance.
- Dr AR Dykes
