Project objective: Coordinated with a team of five to design a mechanical, electrically-driven vehicle to complete the labyrinth in the shortest amount of time.

Individual work: 

• Coordinated with a team of five mechanical engineering students to design mechanical components for a driven vehicle to complete the labyrinth challenge. 

• Managed project timelines that tracked individual and team project milestones and deliverables.

• Created 3D models and 2D manufacturing and assembly drawings for the vehicle wheels and prepared the bill of material using SolidWorks, quantified the motor performance through calculation in Excel to predict its performance, and reviewed and updated designs for errors and conformity.

• Participated in hands-on assembly/build process and prototype testing to ensure the vehicle's functionality and performance in the workshop, helping the team place in the top 5 on the competition day. 

• Documented design specifications, procedures, and test results on the final report.

Result: The vehicle fulfilled its purpose and performed at 100% of its capacity without any issues, helping the team to be among the top 5 for the fastest record.

Project objective: Collaborated with a team of five to design a customized six-speed manual transmission gear that meets the specified criterion.

Individual work: 

• Cooperated with four mechanical engineering students to develop a customized six-speed manual transmission and independently wrote more than 100 pages of structured code using SMath to perform the shaft and bearing analysis for validation.

• Took leadership by monitoring the working process, dividing the tasks among the shaft team, and guiding team members in preparing design specifications and concise reports.

• Provided support for team members and resolved any calculation/design issues to ensure the accuracy of completed tasks. 

• Conducted a final inspection for acceptance or rejection of completed designs, resulting in 100% of the design analysis being completed on time and an A- on the presentation.

Result: Tasks assigned to the shaft team are 100% completed on time. The six-speed constant mesh manual transmission met all the criteria (all the values are lower than the critical deflection and angle of twist), managing to get an 80% final grade (top 5).

Project objective: Coordinated with a team of five to design a robotic sampler that collected the water and sludge samples as the device was pushed through the material (mud).

Individual work: 

• Utilized SolidWorks to produce over 22 mechanical drawings of a robotic sampler, achieving a 100% acceptance and satisfaction rate from clients. 

• Assisted with creating and maintaining documentation and reports related to designs and specifications through 3 phases, demonstrating work progress to clients and keeping them up to date. 

• Communicated with the clients on design-related and budget issues weekly by preparing questions and necessary documents with the team, managing to resolve all the key issues affecting the design.

Result: The sampler fulfilled its purpose and minimized the amount of leakage when collecting the sampler. 

Project objective: Worked with a team of four to propose an entrepreneurship idea. FirstFit was conceptualized as an application that could use 3D scanning technology to scan the body and match the size to the clothing company's catalogue, which helps the customer choose the best-fit clothes and reduces the time taken to try on different costumes.

Individual work:  Performed cost estimation, market, and SWOT analysis, proposed the business model and completed the Business Canva model.

Project objective: Collaborated with a team of three to perform an FEA analysis to determine the total deformation and values of forces acting on a helmet as the cyclist falls and the helmet hits the ground.

Individual work: 

• Assisted with creating the helmet model and performing FEA analysis on ANSYS to the maximum deformation of the helmet during the collision. 

• Used Garlenkin's method to perform hands-on calculations on the helmet's total deformation as it hits the ground.

Result: Successfully identified the maximum deformation of the helmet and compared the values between hand calculation and ANSYS.

Individual work: 

• Coordinated with technicians to install body kits and car accessories for more than six cars weekly, decreasing the time of installation by 10% through training, guidelines, and feedback.

• Organized the schedule and assisted with purchasing car components and accessories through the company’s website, resulting in 90% of the cars being completed within the deadline.

• Introduced new items to clients and managed to persuade more than 5 customers to purchase them, generating $1000 in revenue. 

Project objective: Worked with the mechanical and electrical teams to design the Solar Cleaning Robot that can be used to clean the solar panels using the remote controller.

Individual work: 

• Utilized Sheet Metal tools in SolidWorks to assist senior designers in developing 3D models and drawings of a solar cleaning robot’s body and handle, achieving a 20% increase in energy efficiency.

• Implemented Weldment tools to design in SolidWorks and constructed 2 resistor carriers in the workshop capable of storing up to 6 large resistors, reducing the material waste by 10%.

• Collaborated with a cross-functional team of seven to perform a robot-based mechanical and electrical assembly, managing to 100% complete the product within a specified deadline.

• Communicated with over 10 vendors on prices, design issues, material selection and equipment procurement to estimate the robot’s budget in Excel, saving 10% on manufacturing costs.

• Assisted a technician in manufacturing 20 hospital carts and conducted the final inspections to ensure their quality, resulting in 100% of carts being accepted.

Result: 

• The Solar Cleaning robot functioned as expected and worked within 95% of its capacity every time.
