ACADEMIC PROJECTS
EGR798: Non-Dissertation Research Spring – Fall 2019 Modification of An Elliptical Exercise Machine by Driving Foot Angle to Achieve Walking Motion
• Focused on utilizing an elliptical machine to assist the user in natural walking gait training
• Evaluated the gait produced on an elliptical machine and compared the results to a natural gait
• Attached a foot angle platform to the elliptical platform and deduced how it can bring the user’s motion closer to a natural gait
• Performed design and motion analysis using SolidWorks EGR603: Methods for Engineering Practice II
Payload & Robotic Vehicle Spring 2018
• Utilized SolidWorks to simulate a payload’s operations, such as raising and lowering the payload, opening the payload’s door, and having the robot car exit the payload
• Collected data from the payload’s sensor while on the mission and all processes were automatic
• Performed design and motion analysis using SolidWorks EGR602: Methods for Engineering Practice I
Centrifugal Pump Fall 2017
• Designed a fully functional centrifugal pump that utilized a 12V DC motor and a 7.2 DC rechargeable battery
• The pump displaced water at a minimum flow rate of 16 cm3/Min and to a height of 2 feet
• Designed and manufactured the pump using SolidWorks and a 3D printer 181909: Project II
Generation of Electricity by the Application of Gravity Wheel Summer 2015 – Spring 2016
• The gravity wheel is a system/cycle of weights that either accepted or denied the force of gravity relevant to their position on the wheel itself, rotation of the wheel caused by gravity-assisted in the generation of electricity WORK EXPERIENCE
