Designed a mechanism that changes the pitch of the propeller fan blades

Simulated FEA and CFD on the propeller while under high revolutions per minute

Optimized thrust efficiency across all speed ranges of the propeller shaft

Designed, constructed, and tested a carbon-fiber, solar-powered boat for Solar Splash competition

Satisfied sharp gliding movements through the use of a DPDT switch controller and a linear actuator

Manufactured drive train system to provide maximum thrust on a surface piercing propeller

Utilized Microsoft Visual Studio, OpenGL, and QT to generate a controllable 3D GUI

Programmed GUI to perform basic CAD software functions

Researched and developed 3D surface smoothing function by integrating interpolatory scheme

Analyzed strain readings to calibrate the measurement device by using a data acquisition system

Utilized strain gauges and LabVIEW to measure a given weight of 200 grams

Calculated the expected accuracy of the scale by propagating all possible uncertainties with a two gram tolerance
