I took ENGS 21 with Professor Ian Baker in 22X. My teammates are Natalie Grover, Jihwan Choi, Hannah Sheehy, and Federico Goudie.
My ENGS 21 project focuses on designing and building supporting tools for trap bar deadlifts to prevent injury and relieve pain. The project is very successful, receiving the Jackson Reward, which honors the best project of the class. We have applied for a Dartmouth Invention case number.
Course Objectives
• To identify a need of society, then design a component, system, or process to satisfy the need.
• To apply physics and mathematics from previous courses to a design project.
• To design and conduct experiments or tests, then analyze and interpret data (ideally using the statistical
methods taught in this course).
• To function effectively on a team.
• To apply ethical principles to a case study and the course design project.
• To communicate effectively through written and verbal reports.
• To begin the practice of life-long learning through an analysis of new technology.
• To use modern engineering tools in the design process.
