Residential Wiring
Residential Wiring
While covering residential wiring, I learned how to connect the main panel to outlets, lights, and switches. I worked on a variety of wiring configurations, including outlet and light circuits, as well as two-way and three-way connections. The pictures above showcase multiple projects I completed throughout the school year.
Underground Service Entrance
Underground Service Entrance
I worked on the underground service entrance project independently. I had to remove all of the existing wiring and pull the new wiring all the way through to start the installation. The heavy wiring was a bit of a struggle at first, but after learning how to use my body to apply pressure where needed, I was able to successfully bend and connect the wiring to provide power to the main panel.
Conduit Bending
Conduit Bending
The images above show a variety of bends I worked on during my electrical school year. Some of the bends include 90° bends, box offsets, back-to-back bends, three-point saddles, four-point saddles, and four offsets.
Solar Panels
Solar Panels
For my solar panel project, I had to disassemble the system and put it back together. I was successful in reassembling the system and getting it working as it had previously. I did run into an issue with a loose wire, which I identified and fixed. The panel was live when I had to take it apart, but I followed proper safety procedures throughout the project.
Electrical Control Panel
Electrical Control Panel
For electrical control panels, we learned how to follow wiring diagrams and use them to create working circuits. When the circuit was wired correctly, the indicator lights would turn on and different components would operate when the control buttons were pressed. This project helped me develop my ability to read electrical diagrams, wire control circuits, and troubleshoot connections.
Lamp Project
Lamp Project
My teacher, Mr. Kirk, gave us a creative project to build a lamp. We were encouraged to use unconventional items and think outside the box when designing our lamps. I decided to find an antique camera and turn the camera lens into the main part of the lamp, with the bulb positioned inside the lens.
I wanted to take the project a step further, so I added an electrical outlet with a USB-C charging port. This allowed the lamp to serve not only as a unique piece but also as a functional charging station.
Soldering
Soldering
To practice soldering, our teacher gave us a toy car kit to build. My project was successful, and my soldering was considered clean and well done. I especially enjoyed the small details and precision this project required.
I also created a mini boozuca, which used a magnetic coil system to shoot small metal pellets at a low velocity. This project gave me the opportunity to work with smaller components while applying the soldering and electrical skills I had learned.
Life Size Operation Game
Life Size Operation Game
For a class event in October, middle school students visited Tulsa Tech to explore the different programs. Our class decided to create a life-size Operation game for the event. We built the mascot, Bobert, an alien with white LED hair, and designed the game so we could adjust the shock strength depending on the individual playing.
This was a fun and creative project that the girls in our class spearheaded. We even dressed up for the event and had a great time building, presenting, and operating the game. It was a unique project that allowed us to combine electrical skills with creativity and teamwork.
