Engineering design showcase

Explore key mechanical engineering projects developed during my studies in Kingston, Ontario. These highlights from APSC 200 and MECH 323 showcase my approach to iterative design, rigorous analytical calculations, collaborative leadership, and hands-on rapid prototyping to deliver top-performing engineering solutions.

Featured Engineering Projects

From precision gearbox gear-train design to structural 3D-printed prototypes, these projects illustrate my capabilities across CAD modelling, mechanical analysis, and teamwork. In MECH 323, my analytical contributions helped our gearbox achieve one of the fastest times in the class vehicle testing competition, while our APSC 200 prototype successfully sustained substantial load requirements through thoughtful iterative testing.

APSC 200 - Running Shoe Sole Design

Our team was tasked with designing a porous, shock-absorbing, running shoe sole while consider the diverse needs of individuals. The extensive research and stress testing that our team completed on our design resulted in an estimated stress of less than 0.49 MPa. The project included CAD modelling, FEA modelling, and EDII and sports science research.

MECH 323 - Small Gearbox Design

For 4 months, myself and a team of 4 other individuals developed a gearbox design for a class competition organized for the MECH 323 - Machine Design course. The project involved calculations to determine gear ratios and optimal gear designs that produced the largest torque (for a hill climb test) and fastest velocity/acceleration (for a speed event). Many prototypes were developed in SolidWorks to meet design criteria and a final design was 3D printed for testing. The final gearbox was a 1-stage shifting gearbox to allow optimal gear ratios for each event in the competiotionOur team had one of the fastest vehicles in the speed event and also performed successfully in the hill-climb event.
