This is a quick 1 minute video on me. It does a good job on wrapping together someof my favorite things to do.
Chemical Engineering Overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhsUq2_3iCw
For a career project this is a quick video made to inform you of the basic ins and outs of chemical engineering.

The STL file is read by the 3D printer while the IPT can be read by inventor. The file itself is a basic name tag that we designed on inventor.

INSTANT CHALLENGE
Instant challenges are a design challenge where we are given a set of constraints and we are given a goal to try to accomplish.
Paper Bridge First Attempt 32inch Paper Bridge Second Attempt 36inch
For this challenge we were given a sheet of construction paper and two engineering notebooks. The goal was to span a bridge as far as we could across the two books. We were able to get a 32 inch span before the bridge touched the desk.

This challange had the exact same constraints except instead of having the bridge on books we had to place it on 3D printed blocks. Our improved design allowed us to be able to reach a distance of 36 inches.

3.6 Fling Machine
The fling machine had us take a handful of different office supply type objects and turn it into a cotton ball launcher. After a few different ideas failed we figured out a catupult type design. We were able to on our longest launch throw a cotton ball 69 inches.

Miscellaneous
Pictorial Sketches
Some pictorial sketches done in class on isometric paper.
