I designed and analyzed a compound-reverted gear train with 45° helical gears that can transmit 0.4 HP at 1800 rpm in either direction, with a 15:1 gear ratio. Components, such as gears and bearings, were selected from catalogs to meet industry standards. The use of helical gears introduced challeng...

I designed and am currently fabricating a display case to showcase our vehicle's damper and bellcrank suspension system at an elementary level, in a way that is both functional and visually engaging. The purpose of the display was to recreate the motion and load path the suspension experiences in th...

During my first year as a mechanical engineer, I competed in a robotics competition as part of a team of 4 students, aiming to create a robot that interacts with the environment using an Arduino sensor, with judging based on an overall audience satisfaction score. The level of creativity for this co...

I was given the opportunity to collaborate with a 4-person subsystem team, a part of a larger team of over 20. The goal of the competition was to move unsorted objects from point A to point B on an arena with another team and to have the items organized properly. The subsystem I worked on was the tr...

When I first began learning technical skills in 3D printing, I wanted to challenge myself by scaling down a simple, rigid object in real life to test my CAD skills, the 3D printing process, and an elementary intro to assembly. I chose to model a county building in downtown Riverside because it prese...
