Engineering Strategy and Practice

APS111 & APS112: Engineering Strategy & Practice

  • Incorporated haptic technology into a fish finder, making it accessible to visually impaired users

  • Proposed a report stating the potential application that combines drone and robotic technologies, in which the professors requested to use as a sample writing

  • Led a team of five to design a workshop crane that separates a resin degassing tank for maintenance purposes

  • Worked as the project manager and was responsible for overseeing the plan, coordinating work schedule with a Gantt chart and status reports

  • Composed effective technical reports such as Conceptual Design Specification, organized three client meetings and gave a final design review presentation

  • Resulted in 95% project grade that ranked top 1% of the class

APS111: Interface Design of Fish finder Using Tanvas Haptic Technology

  • Background: application of Tanvas haptic technology to aid visually impaired users

  • Problem Statement: develop a new form of fish finder that is not reliant on visual perceptions of information

  • Functions: distinguish fish from other objects, indicate fish's size and location in 3D coordinate

  • Objectives: detailed, accurate, simple to operate, easy to learn

  • Constraints: shall not use "digital braille", must not change the fish finder's original structure or pass its limitation

  • Service Environment: water area

  • Stakeholders: Fishing tournaments, insurance companies, fishing assessments, organization for the blind, etc

  • Three Design Alternatives, "T-arrows" as the selected one

APS112: Crane Design for Resin Degassing Tank Maintenance

  • Problem Statement: A crane design that  allows easy removal of the lid of the resin degassing tank (RDS), allowing technician(s) to complete weekly cleaning

  • Functions: separate the lid from the tank, store the lid in a different location for the entire length of the cleaning process, ​flips​ the lid in the vertical direction

  • Objectives: safe, ergonomic, minimal technician support, space-saving, lower production cost, load carrying

  • Constraints: must pass OSHA safety standard, must not disrupt current facilities, methods of mounting, etc

  • Service Environment: the laboratory of the company

  • Stakeholders: customers, workers, crane designer and suppliers, etc

  • Three design alternatives, "Floor-Mount Rotating Crane" as the selected one
