Tower crane

A crane is a lifting machine, generally equipped with a winder (also called a wire rope drum), wire ropes or chains and sheaves, that can be used both to lift and lower materials and to move them horizontally. It uses one or more simple machines to create mechanical advantage and thus move loads beyond the normal capability of a human. Cranes are commonly employed in the transport industry for the loading and unloading of freight, in the construction industry for the movement of materials and in the manufacturing industry for the assembling of heavy equipment.

The engineer design process

- Creative process
- Problem solving - the big picture
- No single "correct" solution
- Technical aspects only small part

Elements of Design the process

- Problem Identification
- Research Phase
- Requirements Specification
- Concept Generation
- Design Phase
- Prototyping phase
- System Intergration
- Maintenance Phase

Needs Identification

- What is the problem?
1. Collect Information
2. Interpret information
3. Organize needs hierarchy
4. Determine relative importance of needs
5. Review outcomes and process
