Preliminary ResultsAs part of an undergraduate Statics course, students were assigned a project to design, build, and analyzea crane using the PASCO Advanced Structures Kit. The project aimed to strengthen their understanding offundamental statics concepts, including force analysis, equilibrium, and internal forces.

To help train upcoming engineers to successfullyaccomplish this, engineering faculty are always looking for new ways to invigorate their studentsand let them see how the material they are learning in class will be applied to their future careers,as discussed by Svensson [1]. While taking an idea from initial concept to a finished workingprototype is ultimately the goal, this is not always practical or feasible. This would requireintegrating material learned in most of the courses in the engineering curriculum to fullyaccomplish. This culmination of
