Engineering at Sea

On April 14, 1912, the Titanic struck an iceberg in the mid-Atlantic and sank. The entire incident, from impact to sinking, was 2 hours and 40 minutes. There were an estimated 2,223 people onboard.

If the Titanic sank today, what new technology would you employ to save more passengers on the ill-fated ship? Use your imagination and design a solution to save as many passengers as possible. Remember, you only have 2 hours and 40 minutes. Think Big & Have Fun!

Share your solution online with #BeAnEngineerChallenge.
