OVERVIEW
Cube was a modular engineering design project developed for the McMaster Design League competition, focused on creating a spatially efficient and structurally stable system tailored to real user needs.
HighlightS
- Engineered a modular system architecture optimized for spatial efficiency and structural stability.
- Developed and refined the design through 10+ CAD iterations using Autodesk Inventor.
- Applied a Pugh Matrix to quantitatively compare design configurations against performance and usability criteria.
- Conducted demographic research and user-requirements analysis to identify workflow inefficiencies and inform design decisions.
- Translated abstract user needs into clear system-level design requirements.
- Delivered a validated technical prototype that demonstrated robust engineering logic and attention to detail.
- Secured 1st place at the McMaster Design League competition by effectively defending design choices under time pressure.
