With Truck Builder, your students become design engineers and build light, medium or heavy trucks specifying chassis length, wheelbase, engine type, transmission, fuel tank size, suspension, steering, tires and brakes. All functional choices are interrelated and will affect the performance of the final design. This program then tests the truck in a wind tunnel or on a moving belt and around an animated road test track, accumulating data about top speed, cornering ability, torque, acceleration, capacity and braking. A complete evaluation report is displayed and users can adjust, alter, save and print designs for comparison against future creations.

Note: The School Version of Truck Builder includes 12 complete lesson plans and activity sheets, as well as 2 CDs. All teacher material may be freely duplicated for classroom use.

System Requirements: Windows 486DX2/66MHz or Pentium, SVGA, 8MB RAM, Windows compatible sound card recommended. MSCDEX 2.2 or later. 4x CD-ROM drive or greater.
