Summary
Develop a can crusher that will crush a 12 oz.
Aluminum beverage can to 33% of its original
size
Illustrated our organizational structure & plan
with a working schedule
Stated our research using patents,
technicians, and engineers
Showed 3 effective alternate designs
Listed the specifications and working model of
the selected design
Cost, Reliability & Aesthetics will be the key
constraints
Cost of $310 is below the $400 Budget
