Nasa Crane Case

Overall, the project was excellent to do it because of two reasons, one I was able to do my own 5s project that helped to have a better understanding of the entire process and two that now I have an organized storage where I will be able to have more space. Now that I performed this project I feel that I'm taking the right direction on being lean, even though my storage is not a business firm or a company where lean can be applied I now know that this is the first step of my experience in lean and maintaining control of 5s process so later in the near future I can apply this project anywhere I get the opportunity to

At the end of “The Cranes”, the author paints a picture of resolution in the car. The older couple, having made up their mind to end their lives together, make their final preparations in drastic calmness. The wife seems to have a few concerns about their decision, but takes comfort in her husband’s steadfast determination. The end of the story shows the woman closing her eyes one final time as she remembers, for one last minute, a scene from their past. Suddenly, the cranes outside the car shoot upward into the sky, presumably in response to a gunshot that startles them.

Primarily I learned that when doing similar projects it is important for me to derive several designs or solutions to a problem in order to choose the best one. I think this was one of the factors that greatly attributed to the project as the group was able to choose the optimal possible design for the particular project. This is certainly a strategy to utilize in the future.

It made me feel good about myself and showed me that even though I may not feel that I am not performing well, like the mentor role; my peers feel that I am. I tend to be hard on myself and meet or exceed what others may expect of me. This was truly the first time I realized how effective I am in a team environment. I honestly have shied away from group related tasks in the past, it has only been in recent years that I reached out to others and felt we could accomplish so much more as a group. The degree of how well we were doing was only measured by the completion of a task, but this has shown me an in depth view of the dynamic nature of group

not only did we get a 100 on the project, but we took it to compete in the district PBL showcase and won first place. It was so amazing to share our hard work with everybody, and we were so proud. I don't think we would have been confident enough to take so many chances or show that work to other people if we hadn't know that Mr. Borden believed in us, and would be there to help us in every way he could.

The big problem people have to projects is that they do not really listen to both sides. When we spoke our minds of the situation we listened to each side and negotiated. Everyone was very well educated along with being very kind as well as patient. As the project kept proceeding bumps in the road were hit, however we got over it then grew from it. In the end we went into the presentation with confidence, and it seemed flawless. We were all proud of what we were able to accomplish in five days. In conclusion, from the very beginning we were all unsure about how this arrangement was going to workout, we each had our beliefs that conflicted with others, however in the end we worked so well that we ended making a relationship with each other we probably did not expect. It is safe to say that my beliefs as to how we were going to work together changed as time went on, I enjoyed it and along the way I learned so much about different beliefs and cultures that it changed the way I look at everything. This experience to work with different people has really helped me grow as a teammate and a

I have not had a very good experience with my teammates on this project. I agree that this should’ve been a fun project but it has been very stressful to me. As far as different viewpoints I feel again as

I thought the building and the research for this lab was very new and exciting and I wouldn’t change anything about it. The write up and taking notes on other people’s flights helped me compare my results to my peers. Some people did very creative techniques that stood out a lot. For example, while most of the classmates used balsa wood or cardboard for their fins, Josh used paper cups instead. Some people used very odd shaped fins rather than the traditional triangle ones. Ray’s nose cone stood out to me because his was short and everyone else’s was large. A lot of people took risks that stood out amongst the others. I think that I did a good job on building my rocket and next time I will take more risks to hopefully make my rocket land on the

This project affected me because it gave me a head start in welding and engineering in general. This project mainly only had an impact on me.

Overall I really enjoyed this project! My team for this project was really amazing and I think we accomplished some really great stuff over the course of the project.

For the precast panel activity, I chose the Liebherr LTM 1220-5.2 because it is capable of lifting the 42-ton precast wall panels into place. At 128’ the crane is still able to lift 44.7 tons with its hydraulic boom. The crane will have no problem lifting the panels to a height of 46ft or a horizontal distance of 65ft. This is why I would recommend setting the crane up on the other side of the railroad tracks and extend the boom over the tracks when the track is clear. With its impressive axle load active rear axle-steering, it will lift these wall panels with ease and be able to maneuver when complete. The reason why this crane beat its competition is because it has such a long hydraulic boom which helps on this particular

I was very pleased with how the group work went for this project. We got started on the assignment and communication early on, which helped make the project much less stressful. Between the girls, there seemed to be mostly even and fair participation, but like any group project, some people did more and others did less. Something I found challenging about the assignment was orchestrating the memo. I wanted

We have learnt a lot during this project and liked the improvement in our testing skills and deep concept related to these kinds of projects.

The project was managed mostly by myself and it was handled in a relaxed manner. One recommendation for improving the system would be to incorporate more helping hands. The project usually only included myself and one other person. On occasion it included more people, but not often. If there was more people involved in the project it would have be completed in more of a timely manner.

This project helped me understand the proper way to write a resumé, and helped me learn how to focus on my strengths. Before doing this project, I really didn't know how to format a resumé, nor did I fully know what went into it. This benefited me significantly, and now I feel confident that I
