• My

goals

were

to

learn

how

to

read

and

understand

blueprint

sketches

and

floor

plans

as

well

as

transposing

these

blueprints

to

autoCAD.

I

also

needed

to

learn

how

to

create

autoCAD

drawings

according

to

customer

requirements.

My

main

goal

was

to

gain

useful

information

in

the

engineering

field,

from

people

in

the

field.

• My

mentors

were

able

to

pass

valuable

information

about

interpreting

what

the

customer’s

requirements

are

and

how

to

implement

these

requirements.

They

were

able

to

explain

autoCad

and

teach

tips

and

tricks

for

more

efficient

work.

I

got

to

work

with

each

part

of

the

office

so

that

I

could

get

a

holistic

view

of

an

engineering

firm.

• Through

the

internship

I

was

able

to

transpose

various

drawings

as

well

as

create

a

handful

of

specific

plans

for

customers.

For

example,

we

calculated

how

high

of

a

retaining

wall

was

necessary

if

an

oil

reservoir

were

to

leak

out,

figure

out

where

pilings

were

necessary

for

a

building,

and

design

some

of

the

docks

and

structures

on

Chelsea

Piers.

Engineering

project

work

In

groups

we

were

assigned

various

different

projects

including:

Reverse

engineering

a

waffle

maker

to

improve

its

design.

After

weekly

meetings

we

recreated

the

product

with

our

changes

in

a

Solid

Edge

model.

A

World

Bank

research

project

to

make

the

Mexico

City

public

transportation

system

more

efficient.

We

brainstormed

and

concluded

on

which

would

be

most

beneficial

with

the

least

cost.

We

made

a

presentation

explaining

how

electric

bus

motors

can

pull

power

from

piezoelectric

pads

and

regenerative

brakes.

We

also

designed

an

electromagnetically

assisted

driveshaft

to

take

load

off

the

engine,

saving

gas

and

reducing

pollution.

Designed

and

constructed

a

wireless

covert

listening

device

by

using

an

empty

Pringles

can.

We

created

a

sales

pitch

for

our

product

and

were

required

to

“sell”

it

to

the

professors.

Presented

three

separate

case

studies

to

the

class.

The

first

consisted

of

finding

the

optimal

way

to

plow

three

different

fields

considering

money,

time

and

the

possibility

of

outsourcing.

In

another

case

study

we

had

to

make

decisions

about

an

assembly

line,

bottleneck

and

batch

sizes.

In

the

third

case

we

determined

the

optimal

way

for

a

company

to

order,

assemble

and

sell

products

considering

money

and

inventory

control.

Sensitivity

analysis

was

required

in

each

case.

Conducted

an

experiment

regarding

the

life

of

roses

in

different

conditions.

We

then

did

ANOVA

analysis

to

determine

which

factors

were

significant

and

if

there

were

main

effects.

Designed

a

“Smartband”

that

is

capable

of

taking

attendance,

unlocking

buildings,

paying

for

meals,

answering

questions

in

class

and

holding

personal

information.

We

provided

all

of

the

functional

and

business

requirements

as

well

as

cost

analysis

and

house

of

quality.

Used

ARENA

to

simulate

the

Moe’s

restaurant

in

Binghamton.

We

calculated

arrival

and

process

times

of

each

station

and

optimized

the

simulation

with

respect

to

queue

time

and

the

total

number

of

customers

moving

through

the

system.

Optquest

and

ARENA’s

process

analyzer

were

used

to

find

the

most

efficient

amount

of

workers

needed

at

each

station.
