Monday
Today we continued to build our individual boxes. I was the first one to finish my box so i started on making another one. We also started on making the top arm that holds the counter weight and weight.
Tuesday
Today we finished all of our boxes. We began to think about how we would attach the boxes to eachother appropriatly.

WEEK 17
Monday
Today i added the truss structure to the title block and made sure it had proper dimensions and was fit to the screen. I named all my title blocks based on what part of the crane they were.
Tuesday
Was not here
Wednesday
Today we started to make our crane out of the popsicle sticks. I worked on making the base of the crane using full popsicle stick lengths. I didnt have to do any cutting.
Thursday
Today i learned how to make a proper I-beam. We made roughly 15 I-beams to get us started. We continued to cut pieces to get them the appropriate size to build the crane.
Friday
Today we started making three boxes for the bottom of the crane. We added the four corners and the trusses that connect them. We used carpenting glue to strengthen it as much as possible

Week 16
Monday
Today i had to redo my crane design on CAD because it was not done in popsicle form. I finished the base the crane and started on my top part
Tuesday
today i finished my crane by completing the top and making it an appropriate sized and scaled according to what i would do.
Wednesday
Today i started to work on the multiple views of the base structure design. I put the three different views a new title block with dimensions showing the fine details.
Thursday
Today i completed the base structure drawing making sure it was appropriate in dimensions compared to my main drawing. I had to use the midpoint tool a lot while doing this.
Friday
Today i completed the truss structure for the part of the crane that holds the load. I made it scaled with proper dimensions and made the side and top view as well.

Group Problem Solving
Principles - Dont jump to solutions before defining the problem. Solve problems close to the source. attend to the interests of all stakeholders.
Skills - Brainstorming, Facilitation
Guidlines
Identify a recorder and facilitator (can be the same person)
Clarify the issue or question
If appropriate, first generate ideas individually on paper
Begin recording ideas from the group --sequentially or otherwise
Encourage “piggy-backing” and “wild or crazy” ideas
Discourage criticism or judgmental comments
Push past “the pause”
Cluster before you prioritize

Week 15
Tuesday
Today i continued to work on my crane on AutoCad. I made the prop that holds the weight and counter weight on the crane.
Wednesday
Was not here today
Thursday
Today we made a presention on powerpoint about cranes. We discussed how to properly design a crane and how the trusses are supposed to work to incrase the stability of your crane.
Friday
Today i worked on my Cad drawing. I made the popsicle sticks scaled to fit on my drawing so that i could be as accurate as possible

Crane Design Ideas and Initial thoughts
I used these pictures of the crane to get an idea of what a simple tower crane should look like. These pictures will help me to design my crane on CAD and get an idea of the proper dimensions of the crane.
