Senior Capstone Design Project:
Chosen as Team Lead for Capstone Design Project-Hydraulic Bicycle: Design and Manufacture chain-less hydraulic powered bicycle.

Team Project: “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes”
Worked in a team of 5 students to design a BBQ grill accessory that prevents heat and smoke emissions produced by typical rectangular flip top grills, making grills safer and more efficient. The device allows the grill operator to remove the grill’s contents easily while retaining the heat and smoke. The designed device is adaptable for installation onto many grills, manually operated, durable and affordable. Above all, the device is designed for safety and does not create unnecessary hazards for users.
Designed detailed drawings using Solidworks, in addition to contributing to the conceptualization and final report.
A presentation of final design and specifications was given at the conclusion of the project.
