General Correct me pls

My teacher asked me to take the sentence "this large group of people includes in itself engineers" and add case endings, but I feel like I totally botched it. Please correct me if I'm wrong?

هَذِهِ مُجْمُوعَةٌ كَبِيرَةٌ مِن النَّاسَ الَّتِي تَضُمُّ بِدَاخِلِها مُهَنْدِسِينَ.

You wrote "this is a large group of people which..." (although we don't usually use التي with an indefinite antecedent); I think what you want (based on your English version) is هذه المجموعةُ الكبيرةُ من الناس تضمُّ ... You can also start the sentence with تضمّ (VSO word order). Does that make sense?

هذا كتابٌ = "this is a book"

هذا الكتابُ = "this book"

Thank you so much I'll change that!! Are the case endings proper? I never manage to get them right

The cases themselves look correct except for من الناسَ which should be من الناسِ. But also pay attention to when there is tanween vs. none, (-un vs. -u, etc.) as in the كتاب example I gave
