You are a transportation engineer hired by the Ohio State University to design an optimized layout of their newest football parking lot. OSU would like the parking lot to contain as many parking spots as possible while optimizing the flow within the lot, accommodating handicap drivers, and allowing for green spaces to meet their sustainability goals. With each parking spot earning $10, how much money can your parking lot make?
The student handout will be given to all students working on the design challenge. It gives a brief recap of the story, it helps the students identify what they are attempting to achieve, and it recaps the design process.

This Instructor’s Guide provides the instructor additional information on how to run the design challenge with alternatives for materials and test setups as well as information to help make the design challenge a good educational experience. In addition there is a PowerPoint file. Game Day Line Up PowerPoint
The Telling the Story Video conveys the societal impact of the student’s research that is the basis for the design challenge and will set the problem-solving context for students.
The Design Challenge Video leads students through the design process. It indicates materials available, states what the criteria are for success and any constraints. It also gives a second ‘level’ of the design challenge that allows ‘early completers’ to move on to a slightly more difficult challenge.
