Stressed Out
In this engineering design unit, students will design a method to allow students to monitor stress during self-scheduled activities. Students will learn about critical point, min/max behavior, intercepts and continuity in the context of heart rates. By using graphical knowledge, students will make decisions about their model and present their solutions to the client.
