The first article I will be doing is defying gravity. I chose this article because I like to ride roller coasters and  I would like to design one of my own. I learned that roller coasters get higher and faster every year. The highest roller coaster so far is 418 ft tall. The roller coaster can go as fast as 3.5 sec. they make their roller coaster using gravity and momentum so they would know how much weight they would need and what tools. If I make an roller coaster it would be in Atlanta Georgia at six flags over Georgia and it would be 500 ft tall and it would be the most terrifying and heart dropping roller coaster ever.

My next article would be on designing new vehicles. I would love to design a new vehicle because I love the way some cars look. My favorite car is the Mercedes Benz because I like the way it look. The article I read said that cars that uses no steering wheel is only a decade away and if that is true that mean that  by the time I get out of college it would already be done and happening. I would be very excited and will be happy for my family and friends who can experience that new technology. Those are my engineering articles that i would choose.
