1 Instructions
Your team is request to design and build an on-road, mobile breast cancer screening laboratory. This vehicle will be built and operated using city funding. Due to economic conditions, the city is limited to $3.5 million dollars for this project.
1.1. General Description of Work
1.1.1. Current Environment
Breast cancer is a growing concern in the United States for both men and women. As the baby boomers age, there is a high likelihood that the incidents of breast cancer will continue to rise. Many individuals lack the ability or funding to get properly screened for this disease. This city currently has no mobile cancer screening laboratory. We would like you to correct this deficiency.
1.1.2. New Environment
We envision a single road capable vehicle to screen for breast cancer. This vehicle will need to be staffed and equipped with the latest screening instruments available. We would like this vehicle to be state of the art.
We envision the purchase of a large mobile vehicle and converting it to our purposes. We do not want the use of a second hand vehicle. Our citizens deserve the best!
