New Projects

Last week we received our new projects. They encompass a wide array of the engineering profession, including mechanical, electrical, and biomedical engineering. Monday, my group and I met with a local business owner to discuss the requirements for our project. We told him of the three main ideas we had come up with during the previous few days. He was excited by all of them and encouraged us to explore all three. We spent the majority of today investigating the feasibility of our initial design. We quickly modeled it using Pro-E, a three dimensional modeling software. We were able to animate our design to see how different size linkages, crankshafts, and pedals would affect the way the whole system worked.
