Does it need to be a static model or do you have to incorporate motion (i.e.- what Joe did with his clock)? On another note, what version is Pro/ENGINEER on these days? I got hooked on Solidworks about 2 years ago and haven't seen a Pro/E screen since.

Doesn't have to move. Some of the engines and stuff would be really cool to do, but it was recommended that you stay away from things with a lot of parts because they wont get finished or turn out very well. I was kinda hoping for something smaller too so we could have easy access to it. A motor would be kinda tough to haul around or store.

I totally thought about doing a clock, but as soon as I though about the gears I quickly changed my mind. I feel like I'll sit in some of my classes just looking around for what I could do and since there's a clock in like every room I feel like it's taunting me haha.

I've though about doing like a 14b or something, but my ta said turbo's would be super hard. idk though I'm keeping it on our "maybe" list.

look into the traxxas 1.5 pro or similar engines... they are rc engines and are a very simple 2 stroke design, that is if you want to design an engine. I would personally reverse engineer a simple carburator since you could find one with close to 12-15 parts

SOLIDWORKS FTMFW!

Im thinking you should go with something simple, like say just a block, or a head.. that would be easy as hell...

Yea this is my first semester with pro-e so something on the easier side would be nice. I've though about a head and cams before, maybe I should bring that up. I work in a group btw so it's not all up to me. Thanks for all the great advice guys keep it comin if you think of anything.

Another idea would be brake calipers or a clutch setup? Something simple...
