"Catapulting into CAD"

What makes a good catapult? How would you go about designing one? In this class, you will learn the science behind catapults, design your own unique catapult using CAD software, and bring it into reality through 3D printing. This will allow you to practice the engineering design process, where prototypes are made, tested, and then redesigned to improve functionality and correct flaws.
