Projects Mechanical Cucumber Chopper Project Mechanical Design I
 Collaborated with a small team to design and build a 4-bar mechanism to chop a
cucumber into slices using the output from a hand crank
 A design was chosen out of various different ideas from each team member and
drawn in the 3D modeling application NX
 Materials and machines from MSU’s machine shop were used to develop a
prototype of the design
 The design was presented at MSU’s Design Day where it functioned admirably
Van Wheel Chair Project Mechanical Design II
 Acted as the leader of a small team to design and build a scaled down version of
an automatic folding wheelchair ramp for a van
 Utilized a drawbridge and sliding design to deploy two nested panels from a van
 A design was drawn in NX and then modified after a finite element analysis of the
panels was conducted
 Various reports were written at each stage of the design process to present to our
instructor detailing our progress
 The prototype was made with aluminum and steel and was developed in the MSU
Machine Shop
 At MSU’s Design Day,the prototype passed with high marks in the weight and
functionality tests
