FED101 Final Project: Exoskeleton Elbow Mobility Assistive Device
First-Year Engineering Design Showcase – 1st Place
Project Overview
This project focuses on designing an exoskeleton-style assistive device powered by a precision-controlled servo motor system. The mechanism supports arm movement by providing guided actuation and controlled force assistance. A key added feature is a sliding joint that increases the device’s degree of freedom, enabling smoother and more natural motion when the arm contracts. This design enhances mobility, responsiveness, and ergonomic support for the user.
Engineering-Themed Chess Set
3D-Printed Custom Chess Set Inspired by Engineering Tools
Project Overview
This engineering-themed chess set features pieces modeled after tools and equipment commonly found in a workshop. The queen is a Tesla coil, the king is a gear, the pawns are hex bolts, the rooks are hammers, the bishops are TIG welders, and the knights are wrenches. The print-in-place board uses a joint system that allows it to roll up, with all pieces stored inside a tube with end caps for easy transport.
Both the board and pieces include a 3 mm deep by 5 mm radius pocket for magnets, allowing the entire set to be made magnetic. The design is customizable, easy to print, and ideal for anyone interested in engineering-themed fabrication.
Formula SAE Powertrain: Fuel Tank & Oil System Development
Fuel Tank & Lubrication System Engineering for the 2010 Yamaha R6 (FSAE)
Project Overview
I contributed to the early Formula SAE powertrain team by helping design the team’s first fuel tank for the 2010 Yamaha R6 engine. My work focused on defining the essential requirements—fuel flow, pump fitment, and overall packaging—while gaining hands-on design experience. The final tank incorporated internal baffles and fuel foam to control slosh and maintain consistent fuel pickup during aggressive cornering. I also assisted with component sourcing and collaborated on an improved oil pan concept that integrated a trap-door system to ensure reliable oil delivery under lateral loads.
