Introduction
For the project, group 11 decided to analyze, disassemble, and reanalyze a Weed Eater Featherlite 20C gas-powered string trimmer. Throughout this process our group will observe and examine the design, functionality, and other aspects that went into the creation and engineering of the design. The project is broken down into five gates, which together will provide a complete and thorough look at the product.
Product Overview
The Weed Eater Featherlite 20C gas-powered string trimmer is designed for the average person to use. It is a base model of various more heavy duty designs manufactured by Weed Eater. It provides the user with quality work that can be purchased at a low price. Over the semester our group will analyze, dissect, reanalyze, and reassemble this product in order to improve our understanding of its functions, subsystems and the design considerations that went into its production.
