NBA 5070 – Blaze Blocker Business Plan
Fall 2024: August 2024 - December 2024
Throughout the semester we developed a business plan for NASA patented Multilayer Fire Protection System.
SYSEN 5930 – Sole Power Project Management Plan
Fall 2024: August 2024 - December 2024
Throughout the semester, we created a product concept and developed a project management plan for our company – Sole Power, an energy generating pavement pad.
*ENGS 89/90 – Dartmouth Formula Racing Cockpit Redesign
Senior Culminating Experience Project Fall 2023 & Winter 2024: September 2023 - March 2024
*ENGS 28 – Marble Maze Project
Winter 2024: January 2024 - March 2024
Objective: design a functional joystick controlled marble maze, in which a marble moves around the maze with the tilt of the game board.
*ENGS 76 – Mars Rover Competition Project
Fall 2023: September 2023 - November 2023
The objective of this project is to design a Mars Rover that has the ability to traverse different terrains (gravel, boulder field, hill, cliff) and pick up a variety of objects (rover debris, power cubes, alien artifact). During the class competition at the end of the term, points are awarded to the team based on the terrains that the rover can traverse and the items that it picks up.
ENGS 93 – Design and Analysis of Statistical Experiment
Winter 2023: January 2023 - March 2023
Because of the significance of health during a global pandemic, this project aims to examine any relationship between the protein intake (in percentages of daily intake) from different sources of food to the obesity, confirmed COVID cases, recovered COVID cases, COVID deaths, active COVID cases (in percentages of population of a country), and fatality rate (COVID deaths divided by confirmed COVID cases). European countries were examined because of the consistencies of diets between these countries and relatively consistent temperatures between the countries due to the fact that they are at similar latitudes.
*ENGS 33 – Bridge Project
Fall 2022: September 2022 - November 2022
The objective of this project was to design, analyze, construct, and test a scale model of a wood bridge. Our job was to come up with a design which is technically sound (strong enough to withstand the prescribed load and stiff enough to deform within the defined deflections), economically efficient (with lower weight) and aesthetically pleasing. Our final bridge sustained more than 4.715 kN of load and was the lightest bridge in the class.
ENGS 36 Project – Study of Lithium-Ion Batteries
Fall 2022: September 2022 - November 2022
Our group researched chemical engineering concepts of lithium-ion batteries and modeled four different types of batteries using Simulink and compared them to lithium-ion batteries.
ENGS 24 Project – Indium Tin Oxide
Summer 2022: July 2022 - August 2022
Our group conducted various research on 2D indium tin oxide samples, doped with different percentages of tin (0%, 1%, 5%, 20%) and annealed at different temperatures (200°C, 300°C, 400°C, 500°C) and conditions (air, nitrogen gas, forming gas). In total, forty-eight unique conditions were tested. Instruments and data collected include four-point probe & resistivity, SEM & EDS measurements, Rigaku XRD & crystal structure, Hall effect, and UV-Vis & absorbance. It was observed that, for the samples tested, there was an optimal doping percentage at five percent tin, that electrical properties improve when annealing at 300°C, and another decrease in resistivity occurs at 500°C due to changes in grain size. EDS analysis showed that the samples created were roughly uniformly distributed with some groups of indium or tin present, while UV-Vis and Hall Effect data both confirmed previously known properties of ITO: a bandgap around 4 eV and n-type doping nature.
*ENGS 21 Project – Just InCASE
Fall 2021: September 2021 - November 2021
My group in ENGS 21 (Introduction to Engineering) created a phone case that prevented the phone battery from malfunctioning in extreme cold temperatures. The case consisted of insulated material (thermacork) and a circuit with a heating pad and temperature sensor. The temperature sensor sends a signal to an arduino to turn off the heater when the temperature of the phone is at room temperature and to turn on the heater when the temperature of the phone is below room temperature. Our product improved phone battery life at -20 degrees Celsius by about 2500 percent compared to a phone with no case at -20 degrees Celsius.
