Problem Statement
We will create a multi-cylinder engine that will be easy enough to be reproduced by anyone.

Assign Task1
I will be making a CAD design of what will be our Stirling Engine.

Compare actual work done to Task1
Found some complications in trying to create the CAD making of our model. Certain functions are a little more difficult then I had anticipated. I will have to continue working on it for this week as well.

Week1 Narrative
Pro-E is a little difficult to use when it is not used on a regular basis. I tried to make one of the pistons as a model for our project but found difficulty when it came to the curve of the channel sticking out of the side. With some research and some memory I was able to get through it. The commands can be difficult if you don't know how to work them, but with the semester of training that I have had beforehand, it was not nearly as hard as it could have been. Though the design is a little basic in design, it portrays what we are really trying to do. We will have 4 of these lined up and attached to a crankshaft. This crankshaft will transfer this rotational motion into motion of a wheel.
