Innovation Team Member
As part of an the Innovation Team, JC assisted in the coding of an Android Application connected to an Arduino board for a motion detection device in an effort to control in-car displays and volume controls. The purpose of the idea focused on the statistical data of car accidents in the U.S. due to distracted drivers. The primary idea was to have hand gestured controls for center panel functions (such as volume, radio station changing, etc.) with the hope of combining voice command in future applications.
Hovercraft Design
Team Lead
As the hovercraft design competition team lead, JC designed a full hovercraft model and flow simulation using SolidWorks, assembled the hovercraft model using laser cutting manufacturing techniques, tested and optimize the design through experimental data.
High Altitude Balloon Project
Structures Design Engineer
As Structures Design Engineer, JC designed the preliminary payload container structure using SolidWorks CAD Software for high altitude balloon project. In addition, JC provided ground support for high altitude balloon project.
