Using the map, determine: 1. Where you are going; & 2. When you will arrive. March 2004 Copyright © 2004 Stevens Institute of Technology Center for Innovation in Engineering and Science Education ‘Unique and Compelling’: The Stowaway Adventure The Internet Enhanced Problem: Imagine you are a stowaway on a cargo boat. Cautiously looking over the edge of the vessel, you see nothing but ocean on all sides, and you decide that you want to get back home without alerting the ship's crew to your presence. You know only the ship's identification code, lucky for you; you remembered to pack your laptop, cellular phone and modem.
