Technical Skills

Throughout the my engineering courses many different tools were used in order to help complete the objectives set. Because of this many skills were learned and applied throughout these projects Figure 1 Source [1]

Teams

During my time at McMaster I have learned a lot through my involvement in different technical team. These teams have taught me technical, social, etc. skills. Figure 17 Source [16]

Second Year: 2C04 Group Robot

The aim of this project was to design and test the lightest and fastest possible device that moves forward and scores a goal and repeats that process as many times as possible in 1 minute. This device may not have driven wheels Figure 16

Second Year: 2C04 Individual Leg Design

The aim of this project was to design a leg that would meet all the requirements of the group project while travelling 1 meter in as little time as possible Figure 17

First Year: Project 1 Renewable technology Challenge

As Part of an engineering team you will design a wind turbine blade for a wind turbine, by considering it’s material properties and performance. Your team will explore this design through different levels of the engineering design process. Figure 2 Source [2]

First Year: Project 2 Autoclave

As Part of an team, students will design a system for securely transferring a surgical instrument to an autoclave for sterilization. As a team, you will design a computer program for controlling the movement of the Q arm to pick up and transfer the container to the autoclave. You will also design a container that will securely hold and contain the surgical instrument in place during the transfer. Figure 3 Source [3]
