Reflection:
a. It was easy for me to identify the problem with railroads. I found a useful source which gave me the information I needed. It was presented in a clear and easy to understand way.
b. Knowing how railroads worked today, I was able to identify the similarities and differences between the 19th century railroad and modern railroad and what was changed in order to make the railroad more functional. The backwards design helped me to dream for a future rail prototype through the already existing maglevs which gave me inspiration for my prototype.
c. I am satisfied with my design. I put a good amount of effort into drawing a design for a possible future rail and explaining how it works and I believe it paid off.
d. I would refine my assignment by planning out my time better and balancing my project workload between the innovation and my 4’s rather then focusing on just the 4’s and then the innovation.
