The term 4 final Project is going to be the design and construction of a Mouse Trap Competition car. Working in a team of three students, you will use the12 step PLTW design process as a guideline to design and construct a mouse trap car for speed, distance and accuracy. Beginning in early May, we will hold a class competition. The top 2 winners of each DDP class will then compete for the Nottingham Cup. The top three winners of the Nottingham Cup will go on to the district Competition to be held on May 11.

Each team must produce a 5 page technical document that meets the SECME (South East Consortium of Minorities in Engineering) constraints that can be found at: http://www.secme.org/docs/competition/2010/guidelines-elementary-mousetrap.pdf

Each team must also produce the following sketches and Autodesk Inventor Drawings:

• Concept sketches of 5 possible ideas
• An Isometric Sketch of the chosen idea with color and highlighted in Fine tip sharpie
• A multi-view sketch of the Final idea that is 1:2 SCALE and dimensioned.
• Inventor IPT files of all Parts that will be in your final design
• Inventor Assembly (IAM) and Presentation (IPN) files of the Final design
• Inventor DWG files Printed that include multi-view and Isometric drawings of each part.
• One part will include a sectioned view of the part
• One part will include a detailed section of the part
• One part will include an Auxiliary view of a part
