ACADEMIC PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

. Combination Ironing and Folding Machine: Utilized SolidWorks and ANSYS to

modify designs of existing ironing and folding equipment to produce a

single automated machine for household use; machine employs 2 iron plates

with steam releasing pores, several motors, crank and shaft mechanism,

ellipse mechanism, and heat transfer convection process to iron clothes

as they are folded. Material selection using matrix analysis, supported

prototype and designing.

. Pull-Down Dining Table: Created 3D model via SolidWorks for a wall-

mounted table that uses the same principles as an upside down garage door

and murphy bed, disappearing into a wall when not in use while covered by

a large painting or other piece of art; applied concepts of garage door

spring mechanisms as well as drawer rollers and channels to develop final

design.

. Solid Model of Guitar Stand: Gained valuable experience in functionality

of Creo by revising design of existing guitar stand and altering

materials to formulate a visual 3D model.

. 7-Segment LED Display: Learned features of IDEC PLC software and

constructed a 7-segment light including logic functions "NOT," "OR," and

"AND" as well as timers, counters, comparison functions, and interlocking

strategy.
