Group 10 - GM V-6 Engine 1
Contents |
Executive Summary
The following report analyzes the GM V-6 engine through the reverse engineering process. The analysis is composed of 4 main steps or gates; planning, dissection, analysis and explanation. The first gate consists of the work proposal and the overall plan for the dissection of the engine, as well as general information on use, energy flows, complexity and materials used. Before the engine was taken apart, speculations were made on the tools to be used for dissection. These speculations got the group thinking and planning for future tasks. The group members were analyzed and given roles and responsibilities to be held throughout the analysis process. A time frame for different tasks necessary to the project was also proposed in the first gate.
