For this evaluated learning task, you will conduct research into the history of a hydraulic or pneumatic system to determine how and why it was originally designed, as well as improvements that have been made to it since it was first designed. For example, you might choose to research the hydraulic braking system in an automobile, when it was originally designed, why it was needed at the time, how the original design worked, and what improvements have been made to hydraulic braking systems in use today. Make sure you include the concepts of fluid statics and fluid dynamics (e.g., Pascal's Principle) where appropriate in your analysis of the system.

Your choice of format for your completed research analysis is flexible; you may choose a written report format, a slide show, or another format as approved by your teacher. Submit your completed research analysis to your teacher. Don't forget to cite your sources and don't forget to check the rubric!
