For the selected mechanism you are requested to: 1. Explain the industrial application showing its importance and where the pneumatic system is used.

2. Prepare a list of all parts required in this hydraulic system.

3. Draw the full hydraulic circuit by using AutoCAD or any relevant software showing all parts and connections. Note: Students in groups of maximum 3 or individually should come up with a

project title relevant to an industrial application of hydraulic circuit. For this

purpose, you should send an e-mail to your instructor with your team names and

the title of your project. Based on first come first served, students cannot use

other teams’ ideas so your instructor may reject your idea if it is a repeat of other
