Engineering Projects

Senior Design Project - SAE Aero Design Competition, CSU Northridge Aug. 2017 – May. 2018

-Entered a competition to design and construct a 55-pound composite RC Plane to deliver droppable payloads.

-Part of the aerodynamics sub team and helped design wings and tail to provide sufficient lift and stability.

-Analyzed aircraft design using a computational fluid dynamic program, Flightstreams.

-Constructed the aircraft using composite materials, performed wet and prepreg layups.

Mechatronics Design project, CSU Northridge Mar. – May. 2018

-With a team of 4 students, we designed and built a thrust stand for a propeller based engine.

-Equipped with sensors to measure throttle, temperature, rpm, and thrust.

-Programed an Arduino Uno to read information from sensors and translate the data to show on a display.

Machine Design Project, CSU Northridge Jun. 2017

-Worked with a team of 5 to design a 3D model mechanical jaw crushing device that destroys hard drive disks beyond data recovery.

-Performed a solid works simulation analysis to ensure materials and design met boundary conditions and functionality.

-Completed a cost analysis and patent search.

Engineering Martials Project, CSU Northridge Apr. 2017

-Identified an unknown steel alloy, through analysis of mechanical properties and metallography.

-Performed Testing such as Hardness, tensile, impact, and heat treatment on specimens.
