Description

Good morning. I was hoping that you would be able to assist me with my team project. I have attached the assignment, requirements and chapters for this week. Also, please read over the assignment and let me know which parts that you would like to do. Unfortunately, there are only 3 of us on the team so I think that I will have to choose 5 parts. But take a look at it and see what you think. Also, if you have any companies in mind that we could use that would be great as no one has picked the companies or any parts yet. Thank you. :)
