Total:40%

Here are the things you should prepare
1. Technical description
2. Pamphlet-(you must include pictures of the whole product and each part)

Below are some jokes about engineer taken from this website: http://www.gdargaud.net/Humor/Engineer.htmlYou Might Be An Engineer If.... These jokes tell us the characteristics of a real engineer. I don't know if they are true, so I want you tell me your opinion about them by answering these questions:

1. Do you agree that the real characteristics of an engineer are as stated in the jokes? State your reason.

2. Write about '5 GREAT THINGS YOU WANT TO DO WHEN YOU BECOME AN ENGINEER' and explain in detail.
