Direct Drive Edition
Children and adults who are fascinated by trucks will enjoy this introduction
to computer assisted design (CAD).
As "design engineers," users build light, medium, or heavy trucks
on screen, specifying chassis length, wheel base, engine type, transmission,
fuel tank size, suspension, steering, tires and brakes.
Truck Builder teaches principles involved in building powerful, aerodynamic,
efficient and safe trucks. It enhances problem-solving skills, and fosters
an elementary knowledge of physics and automotive design.
Truck designs and test results can be printed, compared, and stored for later
use or modification.
Bilingual, users can toggle freely between English and Spanish. School Versions

allows the entire program to install directly on the hard drive of each computer.
