Identify the Problem


Given many different ideas for
projects.



Why we chose what we chose?



A practical idea was chosen to help
people.



Handicap mobility lift to help the
transportation of a mobility device.



We wanted to make a difference and
expand the available market.



Received the necessary specifications
that needed to be followed.
