Internship + Sponsorship Experience
Hands on experience with internships and working directly with project sponsors
Hoist Wench Project
AMAR160 Project, the greatest direct hands on machining experience I have received. Tasked with fully machining a Hoist Winch from scratch capable of lifting 500 lbs. In the machining process I became familiar with lathes, mill and drill press, welding, molten casting, material properties and 5 axis CNC machining.
RWD RC Car
The quintessential class in the Engineering department through CSU Chico besides capstone is MECH340 (Machine Design), here in Spring 2025 our class was tasked to design and build a raceable RWD RC car with steering for the semester-long project.
Portfolio
Smart Jar Sorter
MECH140 Project, Introduced the Design Process and Fundamentals of Automation, was tasked with a industry emulating design experience of a jar sorter to test defects, with our project testing in under a second.
Technical Reports
Technical writing shown through MECH340’s very challenging Lab Reports. Value of reports were emphasized as resume material so 110% effort was given to display them as such.
Capstone / Sponsor
Senior Capstone Project Sponsor, worked hands on as a design and test engineer over the course of a year, meeting weekly with sponsors to maintain specifications and budget.
Michels Construction Internship
77 Day internship in Missouri as a Project manager for the Marine Construction Division, building stone structures for riverbank degradation.
SAE Baja Gearbox
Fall 2021 Gearbox sub-team through SAE Baja, was tasked to use Solidworks topology tools to analysis yield stress of gear components. With the achieved goal of reducing weight of the system without the lost of performance of stability.
SolidWorks Projects
MECH200 Project, Tasked with designing and animating a full mechanical system of our choice with full GD&T drawings, renderings, and Animations. Leading to Professional Graphics certifications and Certified SolidWorks Associates.
SolidWorks FEA + ANSYS Projects
Reports from a Upper Division modeling and simulation class taken as a technical elective utilizing SolidWorks FEA and ANSYS CFD for given weekly lab reports.
