OTHER PROJECTS

In addition to the larger scale projects, there are many other interesting smaller assignments and extracurricular projects that allowed me to expand my engineer design knowledge.

​

Throughout various courses, I was required to produce computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) simulations in both Fusion360 and Siemens NX, selecting material feed rates, cutting tool types, and cutting tool spindle speeds along the way. I also had to justify my choices based on desired surface finishes and expected manufacturing times. Both the CAD/CAM/CAE course, as well as my laboratory course, introduced me to the programming side of CAM, understanding basic code scripts that outlined the functions and movements of a manufacturing robot.

 

I also designed many assemblies ranging in complexity, and created technical drawings for their components. This was often done in SolidWorks, but I also worked with AutoDesk Inventor, Fusion360, and Siemens NX.

​

As a past member of the McMaster Formula Electric team (MAC Formula Electric), I worked with alongside various team members to redesign the sidepods of our current vehicle for the upcoming year. I assisted in simplifying the monocoque for future CFD analysis, and adjusted components and mates in the assembly in order to easily test out different radiator layouts in SolidWorks.
