About Me
I am an engineering student at Dalhousie University, located in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Next year, I hope to specify in electrical engineering. I am well versed in CAD programs, including SOLIDWORKS, Fusion360, and Inventor. I also have knowledge of C programming and experience with manufacturing.
FSAE Simulator Jig
For this project, I designed a simulator jig that will be used to collect data for the purposes of optimizing an FSAE driver's seat. The design allows various section lengths and angles to be changed, allowing the driver to fine tune their seating position. This data will later be used to design and manufacture the seat that will be used in the car.
Engineering Design I Project
In this team project, we were tasked with creating a device which would drive itself down a hall (only using internal energy), stop after a certain distance, and launch a hacky sack into a scoring grid. After designing and iterating, the team was able to construct a successful final product.
Grade 12 Design Summative Project
For this project, my goal was to design a true to life I-4 engine. During this project, I focused on designing the engine such that it could be manufactured. In this particular project, my attention to detail was fantastic (the functional timing components). This was my last major project done in Fusion360 before I began using SOLIDWORKS. This work was graded at 100% by the course instructor.
