MAE 2050 - Mechanical Synthesis

In this course I gained valuable hands-on experience with the mechanical design process, from conceptualization through prototype construction and testing. My design project provided experience in basic prototyping skills using machine tools, 3D printing and laser cutting, as needed, as well as instruction in CAD and technical sketching. The final project consisted of working in a team to design, fabricate, and test a water pump that would pump at least 1 liter per minute to a height of 1.5 meters. My team's report is linked below.

This project developed my skills in:

• Machining (Mill & Lathe)

• 3D Modeling (Fusion360)

• Material selection

• Mechanical Design

• Managing timelines

• Working in an engineering team
