Course: Personal Project
Duration: Approximately 7 Months (August 2018 - January 2019)
Objective: Design and build an effective replacement to put around tires on Go Karts to make them go faster or slower depending on the need.
Type of Project: Group Project
The Go Kart Tire project was an extremely fun project to work on, it was very broad in terms of what we could do so right off the bat we made a list of criteria and constraints to put ourselves to so that we could accomplish designs within our ability to build. During this project I planned, designed, and built our design for our go kart tires in order to try and be a unique design on how well a material like design would work. In the end we got to drive our Go Kart and test out multiple designs which we documented on and came to unique conclusions.
Course: Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM)
Duration: One day (August 18th, 2020)
Objective: Fold and calculate the most effective way to have a setup for an assembly line of an origami balloon factory.
Type of Project: Group Project
On the very first day of Computer Integrated Manufacturing we were assigned the Origami Balloon Factory Project and it was really fun to start off the year. It started our minds thinking about how things get done on an assembly line and how we would go about doing our best to make said assembly line most efficient in every way we could think of with just Origami Balloons. I worked with my partner for the project to make a slide deck on our thought process and idea for the best assembly line for the project.
Course: Principles of Engineering (POE)
Duration: Approximately 1 week (October 14th, 2019 - October 21st, 2019)
Objective: Design and build an efficient mechanical winch system to lift heavy objects up 3 floors (scaled down to 30cm) with the maximum efficiency possible.
Type of Project: Group Project
The mechanical winch project was an extremely fun experience to do in a short span to improve my skills. Starting the project we were given a design brief to get our minds thinking. During the project we got to experiment with a lot of designs, however as a group we worked really well together to decide on the best design for us. Along with our mechanical side of the project, we had to code a netlogo version of our winch online aswell, this can all be seen in our documentation of the whole project. Overall while we weren't the most efficient winch, we were definitely the most compact and really well for our time.
Course: Principles of Engineering (POE)
Duration: Approximately 2 weeks (October 30th, 2019 - November 15th, 2019)
Objective: Design, test, and build a prototype vehicle that will run off of solar & hydrogen cells in either series or parallel circuits.
Type of Project: Group Project
The Solar Hydrogen Vehicle project was a very educational and fun experience for me to contribute to that helped broaden my skills. To start the project off we were given a design brief that informed us of our constraints to start brainstorming the project on. We needed to use 2 separate power sources, solar power and hydrogen power. The solar power was a lot more powerful compared to the hydrogen power, however it didn't constantly need the sun. From my standpoint I was the main builder of the project, brainstorming the original idea and then working off of it to maintain the mot efficient and sturdy vehicle we could make. In the end, we made our vehicle one of the most efficient in the class and created our documentation in a unique way to show off our experience in the project.
Course: Intro to Engineering Design (IED)
Duration: 3 Weeks ( February 27th, 2019 - March 26th, 2019)
Objective: Design, model, and present another world for the human race to survive and thrive in a new environment, and how they would do so.
Type of Project: Group Project
The Another World project was a great experience for me to really express my Autodesk Inventor modeling skills in a very open ended and creative way. We had to go by a design brief In my group, I agreed to doing all of the assembly work, with putting all the parts together, and modeling our biggest and main parts. One of the pieces I am most proud of is my modeled planet and my final assembly which I have rendered pictures of on this site. I got to animate and show off our assembly as well, being able to express more skills in animation and modeling, as seen here. As a group we were able to work together efficiently and get work done fast, which really helped us look at better versions of our project and really get to refine the project as best as possible. In the end, we got to help our skills grow, both as a team, and with Autodesk Inventor, which helped lead to make our presentation stand out among the others.
Course: Intro to Engineering Design (IED)
Duration: Approximately 2 months (October 2018 - November 2018)
Objective: Design, model, and present a digital toy train that will be appealing to children.
Type of Project: Group Project
For the Toy Train project there were many challenges and different tasks we had to accomplish. We were assigned a design brief that told us how we needed to design a virtual toy train that would appeal to kids. In this project my role was to be the project manager, and I had to assemble the entire toy train, along with designing and modeling the front toy train car. With this project it really helped show my skill of modeling and designing that I was able to put to the test in this project. In the whole of this project it helped progress our skills in Autodesk Inventor and helped our skills as a team. Our toy train is themed around superheroes to the help appeal towards kids, and we modeled different train cars for each to show scenarios where Man-Spider would help out. I also made a video & presentation to help make our project stand out among others.
