Claim 12:
13. A method for teaching mechanical engineering principles, comprising the steps of:
providing a system executable on one or more readable storage media executed by one or more processors in electronic communication with one or more databases and one or more subsystems, allowing the system to generate one or more designs or run one or more simulations;
generating a crane design using the system;
performing a simulation on the crane design to provide simulation results;
providing a crane model based on the crane design, the crane model comprising:
a platform,
a crane boom attached to the platform, and
a control system;

testing the crane model under at least one operating load condition;
monitoring behavior of the crane model during testing to provide one or more performance measurements; and
comparing the simulation results and the performance measurements of the crane design and the crane model; wherein
a remote control is in communication with the control system of the crane model over a wired or wireless communication system to initiate pivotal displacement of the crane boom or rotary displacement of the platform.
