Survey for Student Engineers

[Guest]

Hello everyone,
My name is Zach. I am a high school student attending Merrimack Valley, in Penacook, NH. Several other students and I are enrolled in a series of engineering courses. In the particular course that I am in at the moment our class is divided up into several groups to go through the engineering process of designing and developing a product. My group is designing a new type of tip-up trap with some modifications to it. Part of our project is to do market surveys to see if there is a need for our design and also to help make modifications based on the input we receive. Below is a quick survey that we would greatly appreciated being filled out and sent to [email protected]. Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Zachariah
