This activity challenges students
to design a submarine to achieve
performances—whilst meeting the
constraints of engineering balances.
Students play a board game where they
pick submarine hull parts and equip
them with systems/components in order
to deliver the performances they want.
Students will be exposed to the basic
physics that govern submarines, and will
explore the various possibilities in terms
of combinations, as an introduction to
what is generally acknowledged as the
most complex piece of engineering in
the world.
