Budget and Schedule
Schedule and Budget Summary
Some highlighted expectations on what will be done on the Balsa Wood Project by the end of fall quarter include complete truss analysis, calculating the forces on all members, followed by Solid works drawings of the different members that have been optimized via analysis. After the parts are made an assembly can be created and further tested through Solid works element analysis. This will be done by the end of fall quarter to make way for real word assembly during winter quarter. There will be no expenses during fall quarter, leaving the whole of the budget to be expended during winter quarter.
During the winter quarter bridge construction began and was completed before testing in the spring quarter. It was expected that the majority of the budget will be expended during winter quarter because of the cost of parts in the manufacturing process.

Budget
The projected budget for this project is just around $400. See Table D1 below for further budget breakdown. The biggest pieces of the budget are allotted to labor and the raw stock material. These two expenses are high because all parts will be manufactured from the raw stock. A large amount of stock material must be purchased as well as the cost of labor to manufacture the parts. There are other minor tools and parts that will be purchased, their sum is under $13 and fits into the $400 dollar budget.
