                                                        Truss Project

Project objective: To construct one of the predesigned trusses, test its weight-holding capacity, and calculate the member forces of each truss member. 

learning target, and

And my personal reflection of this project is that the goal was to understand the application of trusses and how to analyze a truss system. This includes the mathematics behind calculating reactions, applying trigonometry to solve forces on vectors,  and sketching free-body diagrams. I learned how to create simple trust while working and collaborating with a partner, creating tables, and learn how to use MD solids.
