RELEVANT ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE

Project Co-Lead, Capstone Design Project, U of T September 2011 April 2012

Co-led a group of four to design an automated measuring device for Pratt & Whitney Canada under

the supervision of a faculty professor at U of T

Designed and built a device that calculates the true centre of rotation of a rotor in a PW300

turbofan engine. LABVIEW and C++ were used to interface with sensors and code the program

The final prototype was accurate to 0.001 and 0.01 degrees. It also passed the repeatability &

reproducibility test

Submitted a detailed final report, user documentation, and source codes to P&WC

Individual Design Project, Machine Design, U of T September 2011 December 2011

Designed a device that holds a hockey stick and strikes the puck in different angles and force in

order to test the strength of the hockey stick

Used ANSYS to perform FEA to find maximum and minimum stresses and deflections of the

structure. Also performed hand calculations to calculate the stresses and deflections at joints

Contour plots and deformed plots of the hockey stick tester were obtained to obtain detailed stress

and strain analysis of the design for different materials

Submitted a detailed report on the observations made and conclusions drawn

Project Lead, Engineering Strategies and Practices, University of Toronto January 2009 April 2009

Led a group of five to design penstocks of a hydro-electric power station for the Ontario Power

Generation (OPG). Proposed design was approved by the OPG

Researched various ways of delivering the maximum head flow to the generators while keeping the

budget of the project in mind

Submitted a full scale final report which enclosed all research materials and the final design and its

specifications
