Coursework
I've had the opportunity to gain a wide variety of experience during my classwork at LSU including a year long design and manufacturing project. I've included some of the work that contributed most to my growth as an engineer and had the largest impact outside of the classroom.
Senior Design Final Presentation
This is the Final Presentation for my Senior design project, the handicap accessible shampoo station. The station is meant to be used in salon spaces and allows for those with significant movement impairing disabilities to have a normal salon experience. This is a multi semester long group project; however, I attached are the final presentation slides I created showing certain aspects of the station's design.
Senior Design Final SolidWorks Assembly Model
This model of a handicap accessible shampoo station was created by me final step in fully embodying the concept. This model incorporates all the required functions and constraints imposed by our sponsor, advisors, and capstone team. From this model, manufacturing drawings were produced and used to create the final product.
Senior Design Final Report
The previous slides focused on delivering key analysis results to a panel of professional mechanical engineers. The final report is the culmination of all analysis performed on the shampoo station design. While this was a group report, click below to access an excerpt of analysis I performed and defended in this report.
Shampoo Station Assembly and Manufacturing Drawings
Manufacturing and Assembly drawings were created for each part and subsystem of the shampoo station. A drawing package containing the drawings I created and compiled can be accessed by clicking the button below. Drawings from other sources are noted in the document.
Capstone Midterm Presentation Recording
While the Final Presentation recording is unavailable, this midterm presentation recording shows the culmination of the team's concept selection process for the shampoo station. Segments of the presentation recording and following Q&A can be accessed by clicking the button below. This was a group presentation, but the segments listed show my personal speaking parts.
ME 2212 Final Presentation
This is the final presentation for Sophomore design, the culmination of a semester long design project. My team designed the AutoCast, a fully automated foundry that could automatically a large variety of metals without human input. This presentation was created and given by myself and my teammates.
ME 4143 Vibrations Final Presentation
This presentation covers vibration analysis performed on a push lawnmower using ANSYS. The presentation specifically covers the methods used and recommendations to improve the lawnmowers' design based on the vibration analysis performed. I presented this information alone and had a large part in performing the analysis.
AIAA Funding Write Up
As treasurer of LSU AIAA, I was responsible for securing funding for our hands on technical projects. This brief writeup was presented in front of LSU funding committees and several aerospace businesses. Overall, I secured over $6,000 in funding using this document and presentation skills. Click the video on the right to see the culmination of all this effort! We launched twelve rockets that first semester.
ME 4611 Presentations
Click this video to see a selected recording of an ME 4611 special topic presentation on rocket propulsion. This course focused on developing presentation skills and included improvised 2 minute table talks, experiment specific presentations, and selected presentations on thermodynamic topics. In this talk, I cover the fundamentals of jet and rocket propulsion emphasizing the thermodynamic cycles and nozzle heating.
