8 Labs at Once
Spring Cart
# of CDs
Dist
ance
in cm
Slope -16.4 cm CD
The cart will travel 16.4 cm less for every 1 CD added.
X-Intercept (18 CDs, 0 cm)
With 18 CDs on the cart, the cart will not move.
Y-Intercept
(0 CDs, 286 cm)
With no CDs on the cart, the cart will travel 286 cm.

• Overview:• Materials Science and Engineering is a field of
engineering that encompasses the spectrum of materials types and how to use them in manufacturing. Materials span the range: metals, ceramics, fibers, polymers (plastics), semiconductors, and combinations of materials called composites.
• Everything we see and use is made of materials: cars, airplanes, computers, refrigerators, TVs, dishes, silverware, athletic equipment of all types, DVDs, and biomedical devices such as replacement joints and limbs.
Overview – Preparation – Day in the Life – Earnings – Employment – Career Path Forecast – Resources
