Environmental
engineers need a prototype of an environment that could possibly be
used to inhabit other worlds outside of our own. With an eye toward
having humans colonize the moon, or maybe even Mars, efforts are underway to research
environments that would sustain human life for an extended time. Your
task as environmental engineers is to create a biodome that could be
used as a model for a life-sized habitat that would house humans, just
like on earth. The biodome will need to have an energy source as well
as all the relationships that exist in earth's biomes. The biodome will
be started and new pieces will be added over time. The goal is to
create a fully successful habitat that will be a model for a potential
biodome on another world. Millions of dollars are at stake, so
collaborate with your team, make a plan, carry it out and adjust it as
needed so that you create a model that can be used to begin life in the
solar system beyond earth.
