The projects presented on this page emphasize the importance of the design process.
Designing simple schematic diagrams have helped engineers in visualizing complex devices to determine the most efficient fabrication processes; therefore, art and creativity also play important roles in the advancement of technology.
In this project, a pressure sensor is fabricated using a silicon wafer. Several diagrams of the device are presented so that the readers could visualize the fabricated product and understand the observation and data analysis being made.
In this project, a microfluidic mixer is fabricated using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Diagrams of the fabricated device after undergoing each fabrication process are shown. A microfluidic mixer is a versatile device that is highly dependent on the design of the channels for its functioning.
Another important application of art and creativity is in the field of chemistry. While designing a unique molecule could lead to the invention of new materials, visualizing and interpreting the structure of a molecule from the artistic perspective is essential. The shape, size, motion, and molecular interactions affect the overall structure of the molecules.
Artistic design influences the creation of an efficient engine. In this project, the design of an efficient heat exchanger is created through the collaboration of art, mathematics, chemistry, and physics.
Color is the element of art that has been utilized heavily in the engineering field for visualization. Many software utilizes color to differentiate the variety of temperatures, pressures, and flow rates. In this project, various colorful diagrams generated using the COMSOL software has helped engineers to visualize and understand the complex phenomena that occur in the engineering field.
