WRTG 3030 : Science and Society Final Project on High Speed Rail
One of the things I am passionate about is public transportation, which is why I decided to do my final project for WRTG 3030 on high speed rail. In this research paper I examined the use of high speed rail across the globe. I focused on high speed rail developments in the last twenty years, and looked at possible paths to furthering the use of high speed rail in the US.
I also produced a short video that summarizes the central points of my paper:
MCEN 3025 : Component Design Final Report
As a team designed and built a drill powered tricycle with a custom welded frame. As integration manager I was responsible for making sure assembly went smoothly and for assisting with the design and fabrication of our custom parts. I was also able to use my existing bike mechanic skills to support my team.
In the final run off my team recorded the fastest time for the hill climb race.
MCEN 3021 : Fluid Mechanics Final Paper
As a team we investigated the question: why can sailboats go faster then the wind? We discussed research previously done on the subject, then conducted our own analysis with CFD software to confirm the results.
MCEN 1025 CAD Final Project
I modeled and assembled the parts or adjustable screwdriver. I used digital calipers to make my model as accurate as possible, and used SolidWorks texture tools to make the model look like the real thing.
MCEN 1025 Wobbler Engine
This was a two part project. First, I individually made a CAD model of a wobbler engine. The assembly was made up out of parts I modeled and part files I downloaded.
Next, we broke out into teams to manufacture the parts for the wobbler engines and assemble the machine. We had a class competition when all the engines were hooked up to air compressors to see which teams' engines could go for the longest and with the lowest air pressure.
GEEN 1400 Final Project - Solar Powered, Auto-Adjusting Lamp
With Brody, Evelyn, Jaks, Max, and Rachel
This was a months long group project where we identified a way to reduce green house gas emissions and built a solution- a solar powered lamp the automatically adjusted it's brightness level to the room's.
I was testing and analysis lead, and our team won best in section at the end of semester project expo.
GEEN 1400 Intro. Project - Hammer Catapult
With Brody, Evelyn, Jaks, Max, and Rachel
We were tasked to construct a machine that would launch a golf ball consistently. We decided to build a Hammer powered catapult. It ended up being one of the most consistent catapults in our class.
I was lead for analysis and calculations.
