Bridge Design
In this project, I was required to design a bridge out of simple popsicle sticks and glue. This was my final design, which was able to support over 150 pounds in the end. The project demonstrates structural engineering principles through hands-on construction and testing.

Project Overview
This project involved designing and constructing a bridge using only popsicle sticks and glue. The challenge was to create a structurally sound bridge that could support significant weight while demonstrating fundamental engineering principles of load distribution and structural integrity.
Key Features:
- Constructed using popsicle sticks and glue only
- Achieved over 150 pounds load capacity
- Optimized structural design for maximum strength-to-weight ratio
- Demonstrated fundamental bridge engineering principles
- Hands-on construction and testing validation

Adjustable Power Supply Board
2024For a design course, the goal was to design an op-amp based circuit board to create an adjustable power supply board. This project includes the design, manufacturing, and calibration of the power supply. The power supply can be adjusted to provide different output voltages and current capabilities as required. The project involved creating the schematic, designing the PCB layout, and testing the final product to ensure accurate and reliable performance.
Impact: Successfully designed, manufactured, and calibrated a fully functional adjustable power supply with op-amp based voltage regulation and current limiting capabilities
Library Bookstand Design
2022In a team of 6, we were given the problem of designing a better book stand for a library. The current system involved creating a custom book mount out of matboard for every single book, each time. 12 of these bookstands were then created for the client, and are now being used in their latest book exhibit.
Impact: Successfully designed and implemented 12 bookstands for library use, now serving as teaching examples for APS111 and APS112 engineering courses
Drop Tower
2019Design and prototyping of an amusement-park style drop tower ride. Work included mechanical lifting and controlled descent mechanisms, motor control using L293D drivers, prototype testing, and safety feature design and validation.
Impact: Gained hands-on experience in mechanical design, motor control for lifting/drop systems.
