Internships/Projects:

Graduate Project:

Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona

January 2014-May 2014

. Designing and optimizing mileage and cost of a hybrid vehicle with a

combination of diesel engine and electric motors with regenerative

braking system.

. In the US there has been a large effort to move away from foreign oil.

Legislation has been passed stating that by 2025 all vehicles must

achieve 54mpg, thus we proposing a system that will incorporate a

diesel hybrid with hope to satisfy at least a group goal of 40 mpg for

current date. Our group understands that the technology is only

improving and we hope to use much of the research being conducted to

improve battery life and performance, moreover a cleaner diesel

engine. Our team has decided on the requirements and we will begin CAD

drawings and trade studies of the different packages that can be

merged with hopes to create an optimal system. It is important to

state that this project will only be pursued to the preliminary design

because of time constraints and the project is more of a research

development.
