I took a Machine Design course during my Fall 2023 semester, the semester long project for the lab section was to follow requirements and build a two stage reverted gearbox. For this project, I worked with a team of two other students.
Objective:
The objective of this project is to design and create a two stage gearbox following the requirements(seen below):
Requirements
Contributions:
My contributions for this project were:
Pinion excel calculations
3D Printing gears and pinions
Designing the housing in SolidWorks
Formatted an Excel sheet template to do all calculations for the entire class to use
What I learned from this project:
I learned the value of rapid prototyping
Gear design
Assembly process and how stressful it can get if last minute
Several failed pinion prints due to printer calibration error, which was corrected
Sample Pictures/Videos:
3D Printing the gear
Shaft fitting in the tolerance of the gears + a new dumbbell
Senior Design Project - JPL Mirror Deployment Mechanism General Information: The team: Dr. Farhana Abedin(Project Advisor), Jonathan Sycip(me), Darlene Cardenas, Otto Polanco(JPL Mentor), Claudia Pineda, Marlen Genaro, Trevor Bilak-Sackin I worked with a team of four other members and my role on the team was Lead Electronics and Software Engineer. This project was supervised by the JUCI (JPL University Crowdsourcing Initiative) Program. Our mentor from this program was JPL Optomechanical Engineer, Otto Polanco, and a senior project advisor for the Electromechanical Systems Engineering Technology department, Dr. Farhana Abedin.
Refurbished Lithium-ion Battery Pack General Information: In the summer of 2021, I did an unpaid internship at my friend's family business, L&H Tag and Label in San Gabriel. My friend's dad, Mark, was the business owner and I worked on side projects that he had no time to do since he was on the manufacturing side.
Rock Climbing Camera Tracking System General Information: I like to rock climb and sometimes I want to film myself and share my climbs with my friends, but it is awkward to bother someone so I wanted to create a tracking system. In order to design this I need to define what I want to do for this project: -list requirements-
