PROJECTS & PRESENTATIONS

UCF College of Engineering & Computer Science Senior Design

Voltron: Phase Converter Simulator

• Designed a three phase converter simulator that safely measures the voltages of power equipment and also able to train technicians on how to trouble shoot hazardous power equipment

• This device contains actual transformers, which completely duplicates in-field situations. Our project is based on voltage control, logical design, and programming.

• The phase converter simulator has the capabilities to do the following types of service voltages: single phase 120 volt Delta, single phase 120/240 volt Delta, three phase 120/208 volt Wye, three phase 120/208 Wye, and three phase 120/240 Delta.

Skills acquired:

Power transformers Theory, microcontroller design and Programming, Power Supply Design and Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design and fabrication.

UCF College of Engineering & Computer Science Naval Race Great Competition

The Styrofoam Titanic

• Assemble a watercraft that ability to maneuver an object while in circumnavigating the reflection pond.

• For the naval competition the watercraft operated autonomously during its time trial.

Skills acquired:

Power supply design, fundamental linear controls theory, drive train assembly (motor, drive shaft, controlling mechanism).

Space Florida & Florida Space Grant Consortium

Space Academy

• Assemble a weather balloon that reaches 100,000 feet into the atmosphere with a payload of a alive camera, GPS navigation, and still remain functional under the conditions of the elevation.

Skills Acquired:

Soldering, designing, and troubleshooting with Styrofoam boxes, thermal packs, receiver and emitter circuit for camera, weather balloon, GPS against weather conditions as well as on site problems.
