• Researched correlations between steel material properties and rapid prototyping material properties in an effort to find a strength scale factor between the two to prototype steel connection designs as a way of locating stress concentrations. • I presented my findings locally and will present at the National Conference of Undergraduate Research (NCUR). In addition, I wrote a paper on my findings. • Researched correlations between steel material properties and rapid prototyping material properties in an effort to find a strength scale factor between the two to prototype steel connection designs as a way of locating stress concentrations. • I presented my findings locally and will present at the National Conference of Undergraduate Research (NCUR).
