FOURTH
YEAR
CAPSTONE
PROJECT
BOOMBARDIER
AEROSPACE
FLEXIBLE
WORK
CENTRE
PROBLEM
STATEMENT
To
design
and
refurbish
a
new
flexible
work
center
that
is
able
to
assemble
all
different
series
(Global
6000,
7000)
of
aircraft
in
a
single
assembly
line.
DESIGN
STATEMENT
The
purpose
of
this
project
was
to
solve
Bombardier
Aerospace’s
assembly
line
problem.
Bombardier
Aerospace
uses
different
assembly
workstations
and
devices
to
assemble
different
types/series
of
aircrafts,
which
causes
many
troubles
with
time
management
and
availability
of
a
free
assembly
line.
Our
goal
was
to
make
such
work
stations
that
provides
more
flexibility
in
terms
of
accommodating
different
series
of
aircrafts
into
all
assembly
lines
and
provided
more
mobility
around
the
fuselage
without
actually
having
to
move
aircraft’s
position.
RESULT
We
built
a
workstation
with
many
new
features.
The
thought
process
lead
to
the
realization
that
the
two
biggest
changes
that
could
exist
in
a
different
aircraft
would
be
the
width
and
the
height.
So
we
provided
height
adjustment
using
rack
and
pinion
assembly
and
extendable
platforms
to
provide
width
adjustment.

SECOND
YEAR
DESIGN
PROJECT

ETCHING
PRESS
PROBLEM
STATEMENT
To
design
new
small
intaglio
etching
press
on
Autodesk
Inventor
tweaking
the
already
existing
for
better
performance
with
minute
details
provided
by
the
professor.
DESIGN
SOLUTION
I
suggested
to
add
laser
sensors
right
in
the
beginning
of
the
rollers
where
the
sheet
enters
which
detects
the
presence
of
sheet
metal
which
further
leads
to
motorized
rollers
rotating
at
certain
speed
to
deliver
faster
prints.

SECOND
YEAR
DESIGN
PROJECT

MOTORISED
TROLLEY
PROBLEM
STATEMENT
To
design
test
and
build
prototype
for
a
trolley
that
can
carry
a
standard
sized
oxygen
cylinder
upstairs
in
hospitals.
DESIGN
SOLUTION
A
conventional
trolley
design
with
a
Tri-‐Star
wheel
assembly
was
proposed
after
a
number
of
sessions
of
brainstorming.
The
applicability,
practicality
cost
and
the
case
of
building
was
considered
along
with
the
design
being
interactive.
The
team
was
divided
in
3
subgroups
to
make
the
process
more
efficient.
RESULT
The
design
was
awarded
the
second
best
design
among
56
teams.

INITIATION
I
joined
McMaster
Solar
Car
Project
in
the
beginning
of
the
third
year.
The
team
at
that
time
as
in
a
process
of
building
the
all
new
car
after
four
years
of
gap.
After
going
into
couple
of
meetings
I
was
asked
to
lead
the
chassis,
which
is
a
sub-‐group
of
mechanical
team.
First
few
weeks
were
more
like
a
catch
up
time
for
me
knowing
how
to
team
functions
and
what
are
the
expectations
and
deadlines.
There
were
Gantt
chart
meetings
conducted
which
gave
us
a
clear
insight
of
the
tasks
and
the
deadlines.
PROJECTS
The
projects
I
am
entitled
to
work
on
are
typically
based
on
the
chassis
of
the
car.
The
design
that
is
being
used
is
an
alternation
and
revision
of
the
design
used
in
earlier
cars.
My
main
duties
include:
Ø Analyzing
the
design
of
the
chassis
and
make
amendments.
Ø Work
on
suspension
installation
points
and
positioning
of
the
steering
rack
and
pinion
column.
Ø Perform
Finite
element
Analysis
(FEA)
Ø Estimate
the
amount
of
metal
required
to
make
the
chassis.
This
includes
working
with
the
business
and
manufacturing
team..

THIRD
YEAR
DESIGN
PROJECT
ROBOWALKER
PROBLEM
STATEMENT
To
design
and
compute
a
project
that
aids
common
man’s
problem
in
the
present
world.
DESIGN
STATEMENT
The
purpose
of
this
device,
called
the
Robowalker,
is
to
assist
people
who
have
trouble
walking,
such
as
paraplegics
or
the
elderly.
The
device
would
be
design
to
assist
people
in
carrying
approximately
60%
of
their
body
weight
to
take
stress
off
of
leg
joints,
muscles
and
bones
by
providing
a
torque
at
the
knee
joint.
Although,
the
control
system
part
was
not
in
the
scope
of
this
project.
RESULT
We
successfully
created
an
AutoCAD
assembly
to
demonstrate
the
full
idea
behind
the
project.
