Gained an understanding of global issues and developments in the field of engineering Learned to adapt quickly to rapidly changing situations and environments

Project ExperienceGraphic CommunicationsThe project was to dismantle a fishing reel and model all of the components to create a three-dimensional exploded view of the reel, and then developa presentation to advertise it using the completed model.

Utilized NX 9 to model each component with utmost accuracy Presented the finished design using captivating imagery to demonstrate the reel’s superior features

Mechanical Design IIThe project involved creating a gripping mechanism that was meant to lift, rotate, and transport two pucks of varying weights over an eight inch wall and into small slots that left little room for error.

Met with the group at least three times a week to discuss design concepts and devise crucial parameters Developed a simple three-dimensional model of the final design using NX 10 so as to perform a finite element analysis of the mechanism Gained valuable experience working with a group on a project that involved constantly emerging dilemmas

CAD ToolsThe project involved developing a three-dimensional model of a toy excavator, to scale, that was capable of producing the four main motions of a realexcavator, as well as one other motion of our choice.

Researched the basic dimensions and structure of an ideal toy excavator Modeled the tracks of the excavator utilizing NX 10, including the small ridges that provide friction to real excavators Honed my skills with drafting and three-dimensional modeling by adding minute details to the excavator tracks’ design
