Now you have great data! Some data you found may not be numeric. It may be how your boat sat in the water or what you saw if it fell over. This data is important too!
Use all the data you have to plan an improved design for you boat. You can click here to upload a new plan of your boat.
3j. Boat Improvement: Holding a Brick
What was your most effective change? Engineers make changes after testing designs. Describe the most important change you made while testing solutions for a boat that could hold a brick.
(You can earn this badge 1 time, and it’s worth 30 points. You should describe how you used data to make this improvement in the area below.)

Boat Planning: High Heavy-Seas-Operation Score
Especially with combat craft, naval engineers take time to plan and think. You wouldn’t want to install a machine gun that could shoot your own ship!
This mission is fun, but don’t forget all your engineerings skills. Designing the best ship is the key to climbing the leaderboard.
Challenge #10
Build a boat that earns over 1,600 points in the Heavy Seas Operation.
This weather is rough! You will need to explore some communication options while staying under budget. These “Comms” use radar to find the “UAVs”. UAV stands for Underwater Autonomous Vehicles. “Autonomous” means it runs by itself.
Remember to use the tests to quickly compare your ship’s speed and maneuverability.
Upload your first Heavy Seas Operation design here. (You can take a screenshot by hitting “Printscreen” on Windows and Command + 3 on Macs.)

Boat Planning: High Supply & Logistics Score
Engineers draw plans to help them think. The Search & Logistics mission is big! (If you still need to download FLEET, you can email fleet@navalengineers.org or simply download it at www.fleetengineering.org.
Challenge #8
Build a boat that performs well in the Search & Logistics mission.
This ship will be larger and cover thousands more miles than anything you built before! What parts of your design can you change to make this huge ship go fast? Maneuver well? What tests can you do to master this mission with your new ship? What are your goal for those tests? Are you using the money wisely? You have to pay for a lot of cargo, but still need to maximize your budget.

Boat Planning: High Search & Rescue Score
Engineers draw plans to help them think. You are going to have to think hard to find ways to build a FLEET ship that will be great at the Search & Rescue mission. (If you still need to download FLEET, you can email fleet@navalengineers.org or simply download it at www.fleetengineering.org.
The new objectives and the budget make this mission tough! What parts of your design can you change to make your ship go fast? What parts of your ship will not affect the speed of the ship? Do you a heavier ship will go faster or slower? How can you find out?
Are you using the money wisely to balance getting to the shipwreck and saving people at the shipwreck?

Boat Planning: Quick Rescue
Final test! Keep creating plans to design your ships. You are going to have to think hard to find ways to build a FLEET ship that is quick at rescuing 2 people. (If you are having problems downloading FLEET, please let them know by emailing fleet@navalengineers.org.
Challenge #5
Build a boat that quickly rescues the 2 people in the Rescue Practice.
There are many options for rescuing people. You can use a boat or two! There are helicopters, and you can even rescue them using your big ship. What additions will help you be successful? How does your ship’s weight affect your final times?
