Tech in the Trenches (Groups 1 ? 2)

In many eras throughout history, war has been a reality.Often what changed the landscape of war and even led to victory was the technology that was available or created during this time. History buffs and future engineers alike will fall in love with this cross-disciplinary series that marries technology with American history.
