Research the Problem Go to and list 3 different web sites and investigate 3 different crane types. Complete 3 drawings of 3 different cranes to include a top, front and side views. Day 2 Researching the problem Develop possible solutions Day 3 Select the most promising solution from the research Using graph paper come up with a sketch for the major crane components. Using the rough sketches come up with CADD drawings for the different views of the different crane components using Vex or Pitsco parts. (Grade 9-11) Identify kit parts needed or develop a parts list for the student’s crane design Develop a Vex or Pitsco parts list. Day 4
