I've been able to grow my engineering design abilities through a course titled "ME357" ("Introduction to CAD and Machine Components"), for which I've made several CAD part models and respective drawings. Click the PDF logo below to view some examples.
I've also explored the uses of Artificial Intelligence through a project about the creative problem-solving abilities of ChatGPT. I conducted a study to test ChatGPT's creative problem-solving abilities and presented the findings at the LSC 2023 Conference in Institut des Hautes Γtudes Scientifiques (IHES) in Bures-sur-Yvette, France.

The following was a semester long project for a course titled "EK131" ("Introduction to Engineering: Hands On") which focused on foundational engineering concepts and the importance of the design process. The goal of the project was to design and develop a digital thermometer through CAD modeling & 3D printing, circuit planning, soldering, and programming.

Here's an ongoing project on generating heat through nothing but friction, inspired by the millions worldwide who lack steady access to electricity. Click the PDF logo below for more info, and the link logo for my submission with the GoPan to the James Dyson Award.
For an engineering design course, my group and I developed a room occupancy tracking device using CAD modeling, 3D printing, circuit planning, soldering, and C++ programming. Our project was voted a stand-out project and selected to be displayed in the BU Engineering building. Access the full project report and demo video by clicking on the PDF and movie logos below.
Lastly, here's a three minute educational-style video I created about the Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz calculus debate. I made the video using Adobe Creative Cloud applications, including Animate and Audition. Click the film graphic below to watch the video.
A personal project that I'm currently working on is building a drone using some open source carbon fiber frame components and 3D printed toroidal propellers, as well as a Speedy Bee computing stack. Click on the PDF logo below to view some of the progress.
