Design Projects/Artifacts

15. UofT Formula Racing Car Design 
September 2014- present

 

The racing car was designed by a group of engineering students at the University of Toronto. The team designs, builds and races annually with a new UT series car designed each year.  

14. CNC Milling Machine Design 
September-December 2014

 

The design task is to accomplish a high quality conceptual design for a CNC milling machine. The design is followed by detailed and functional models and drawings, along with a design report.   

 

Team members:Bruce Hu, Ervin Abadula, Andrew Kim, Jonathan Lvs 

13. Hand Mixer Motor Mechanism 
November 2014

 

The design task is to model a mechanical visualization for the motion transmission components in an existing hand mixer. The task is followed by designing/modelling a housing for the entire mechanism. 

 

Team members:Anston Emmanuel, Ojas Nakil, Marlon Dyo Fk

12. Planetary Gear Train with Ring Locking Mechanism
November 2014

 

The design is to fit a customized gear ring to the planetary gear train inside the hand screw driver. The locking mechanism is activated by a sliding button.

 

Team members:Anston Emmanuel, Ojas Nakil, Marlon Dyo Fk

11. Vertical Stabilizer Modeling for Power Flight Design
November 2014

 

The standardized NACA 0012 vertical stabilizer was modeled for future construciton stage. 

 

Team member: Amr Rizk

10. Machining and Construction: Pneumatic Engine
October, 2014

 

The entire piston was machined by using lathe and mill at George Brown College  machine shop, followed by assembly of the entire mechanism. 

 

 

9. Scotch Yoke Mechanism Modeling 
September 2014

 

This project offers an opportunity to tear down a hand tool and investigate the existing Scotch Yoke mechanism. A solid model of the mechanism was created.   

 

Team members: Anston Emmanuel, Ojas Nakil 

8. Ball Bearing Hand Sketching
September 2014

 

This project is to test the proficiency of hand sketching skill as a mechanical engineering designer.  

7. The Squeeze-Roll -- A Wringing solution to RSI
March-April 2014

 

The Squeeze-Roll is an automated wringer driven by motor, gearbox, pulleys and timing belts. The compressive force between rollers will wring the microfiber mop without adding any extra human power except for lifting the mop and inserting it through the device. 

 

Team members: Chaojian Zhang, Haixu Yin, Tenzin Sherab

6. CIV102 Matboard bridge design
December 2013

 

The second bridge project required a group of three engineering designers to design and construct a beam bridge by the material offered. Performance on both calculation and construction is required and tested in the design.

 

Team members: Lauren Chee, Shervin Barati

5. Conceptual design: collapsible hanging box

November 2013

 

As most of students are bothered by finding an effective method for outerwear storage in lecture halls, our team was to design an effective, portable product to solve such problem.

 

Team members: Emerson Grabke, Lan Xiao, Zihang Fu

4. CIV102 pedestrian bridge design

October 2013

 

One of the two bridge design projects, the pedestrian bridge project required us, a group of three, to design a steel truss bridge under certain geological condition, with our design philosophy justified.

 

Team members: Alexandra Davidson, Daming Gao

3. Teardown: hand/stand mixer
October 2013

 

During studios in Praxis I, we, as a team of two members, were asked to tear down an electro-mechanism artifact. We tore down a Hamilton Beach stand/hand mixer in order to identify its key design decisions, which included design for safety, usability and manufacture.

 

Partner: Rachel Wood

2. Double sauce container design

​May 2013

​

In Grade Twelve, I completed an individual design project, which required to design a container that could pour sauces out separately from the container or at the same time. 

1. “Derby Car” design

December 2011

 

My first design in high school was to build a cardboard car, namely "Derby Car", which was accelerated by gravity force only. The quality of the design was judged by both the distance travelled  by the car and the maximum speed the car could reach, as well as how elegant the design was.
