Taught Introduction to Mechanical Engineering III (ME 130) and Introduction to Detailed Design with Solid Modeling (ME 251).

• Advised and educated students to use various shop tools and equipment.• Train and educate other shop techs with shop safety protocols and practices.• Ensure shop compliance with EH&S standards and trainings.

As a shop technician, I assist users of the ME Dept. machine shop to complete their projects and build skills in a safe and effective manner. Along with assisting others in their skill development, I work on my own skills learning more advanced techniques and broadening my exposure in the shop.

Involved with the trajectory of Cal Poly Bike Builders, and ensuring our success as our club grows. My role supports the club through officer meeting organization and club presentations, to maintain quality and integrity in the club. Further, creating sponsorship connection and working with the College of Engineering and Cal Poly Administration to create events and grow outreach and recognition.

Ensured club operated effectively, participating in club presentations, and organizing club events. I learned solid communication and administrative skills, as well as teamworking and delegation skills.

• Developed diagnostic assembly fixture with considerations for ergonomics and process flexibility.• Worked closely with technicians during development to ensure novel solution is effective.• Selected best method to enable a multi-axis rotational fixture and organize 160+ optical fibers. • Designed-in OTS components to handle appropriate operating loads, validating stiffness/strength via MathCAD.• Considered DFM/A with special influence of repeated disassembly and storage of device.• Iterated fiber organizing feature with 3D printed prototypes enabling real time feedback from technicians.• Worked with full-time engineer to implement full scale prototype post internship.

• Developed optical alignment fixture to aid accuracy and repeatability of device assembly.• Conducted formal design development process through camera selection and component design.• Conducted tolerance stack-up analysis of assembly to guide component selection and part feature GD&T.• Utilized DFM/A principles enabling cost effective manufacturing and easy installation and storage.• Identified dynamic tip-over hazard created by limited working space and large operating height range.
