Worked in a group of five to design and build a compact potential-energy–powered racer using SolidWorks, iterating through multiple drivetrain concepts to meet strict size, mass, and component constraints. Leveraged 3D printing and rapid prototyping to quickly evaluate design iterations, integrate standardized components, and maximize competition performance.
Collaborated in a multidisciplinary team to design and 3D-print a cantilevered load-bearing structure under strict volume, geometry, and mounting constraints, using SolidWorks and finite element analysis to guide design decisions. Iterated through multiple geometries to optimize material distribution, minimize stress concentrations, and improve load capacity, applying truss and I-beam concepts.
Designed a low-cost, attachable LED signaling system to improve nighttime visibility and safety for wheelchair users crossing streets. Integrated Arduino-based electronics, sequential LED control, and a lightweight mounting solution optimized for accessibility and ease of use. Validated structural integrity through FEA and user feedback, resulting in a durable, manufacturable assistive device addressing a real-world safety problem.
