Relevant Coursework:

• Project lead for Senior Capstone Project to design a universal paint jig using common touchpoint analysis, vibrational analysis, heat and deformation tests, accelerometer analysis and strain analysis.

• Presented our findings and documented progress through engineering notebooks, engineering drawing files, CAD models, bi-weekly meetings with professors and sponsors regarding our yearlong Capstone project.

• Summarized our project within a PDS, interim report, final report, and final presentation to engineering department and project sponsor.

• Used knowledge developed through math, physics, dynamics, experimentation, and mechanical design to think of an out of the box solution to Toyota’s paint jig storage issue.

• Designed and modeled heat exchanger for Mechanical Design Capstone Project and tested useability for various heating conditions using safety factors and stress and strain calculations.

• Automotive paint Capstone presentation to maximize efficiency within the Plastic shop by conducting cost analysis and calculations.

• Conducted multiple self-designed experiments to determine relationships between variables such as RPM, angle, and size of loads using statistical analysis.
