  During my senior design capstone class, Product Engineering Processes, I was one of two project managers for our 17 person team. We had about two months to go from ideation to full product launch. I was responsible for leading the team in the design of our 6x9ft wall, one of the largest projects ever built for this class.

As a project manager, I was focused with ensuring the structures, drive system, panels, and electronics sub teams were all designed to integrate well into one working and safe system. I also worked extensively as team captain for the structures sub team, where I was focused on designing the inner steal frame and legs, so as to prevent tipping, buckling, and injury for the user. FEA analysis was done with SolidWorks to get at least a safety factor that would allow an adult male of 400lb to climb safely (including dynamic load). I was also team captain for electronics sub team where I was responsible for designing the power delivery for the motor, master controller, LEDs, and numerous sensors. This posed a challenge since some of these sensors and PCBs were rotating with panels. We hence implemented power rails for panels to contact with metal leads to receive power and communicate with the master controller. Lastly I was also in charge of programming the master controller, for sensor read out, gameplay, and bluetooth communication with a tablet (which I also created an Android and iOS UI for). Overall this was an amazing opportunity for me to challenge myself and others to push the boundaries of what was previously thought possible for this class!

I worked specifically with the tracker group and was responsible for designing a PID controller for tensioning the straws using a combination of linear actuators, load cells, infrared photo-interrupters, Arduinos, etc. In addition, I was involved in researching various physical properties of the straws, current sensing, and possibilities of crosstalk in order to continue designing the implementation of the tracker panels.

Tested prototype in the 100ft tow tank. Used SolidWorks to redesign a space and energy effective jet channel for favorable hydrodynamic properties near surfaces. Created a Qt GUI to interface between Arduino control, master/slave communications, and sensor readout. Extensively worked on assembly, including water tightening, sealing, and electrical connections. •Thrust Measurements on Underwater Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) Drones -Harry Asada Worked with senior PhD Candidate, Sampriti Bhattacharyya. Measured forces on underwater drones working near the vicinity of a submerged surface. This is very similar to the concept of aerial V/STOL (rockets, airplanes) where we used a body with a single impinging thrust jet. Learned about various force measurement sensors and worked with a high precision micro load cell to measure forces . Also worked on reproducibility, error estimates and looked at the lift loss, suctions and fountain upwash effect produced when working in the vicinity of the ground.
