We will dissect an Eager Beaver chainsaw by McCulloch. This product is sold for household use and was developed in Arizona in 1988. It uses a gasoline internal combustion engine to power a chain, which is the mechanism that cuts the tree or limb. We will analyze how the design was affected by various factors. By reverse engineering each of the chainsaw's subsystems, we will discover how each system provides its own function while contributing to the main goal of whole system. | We will dissect an Eager Beaver chainsaw by McCulloch.

Gate 1
In Gate 1 we will organize our group to accomplish our task. We will lay out a general plan, evaluate our group members, assign jobs, and develop a basic understanding of the archeology of the product.
Gate 2
In Gate 2 we dissected the chainsaw and documented the process. We also access the group's work thus far, and planned for future work.
