PORTFOLIO

The ability to apply theoretical engineering knowledge is as important as knowing and understanding the heart of engineering (mathematics and physics). Solving real-world problems require a hands-on approach to creating and attaining a lifelong solution. Working on projects and expanding your knowledge by applying it to engineering problems is what I think is the best use of time for an engineer since knowledge in engineering is not always enough and the more you keep involved in engineering, the more knowledge you acquire doing engineering. My behavior toward any engineering problem is that the term "engineering problem" is said to be an engineering problem because it has a solution to it, without a solution a problem cannot be a problem, and this has led me to acquire good engineering skills in terms of designing an aerospace vehicle and engineering it from its mission specification to its control systems. Some of those skills are: • Operating a grinder machine for fabricating aircraft parts. • Designing aircraft on different software. • Manufacturing an aircraft and testing it. • Designing Formula SAE cars. • Maintaining Project Design Report (PDR) for a NASA project. • Leadership skills by being a team manager for a project. • Designing a robot with sensors and actuators to locate and do certain tasks. • Using MATLAB for the control system of an aircraft. • Designing and building a board cleaner using pulleys, ceiling wire, and sponge. Many of the projects on this page were the result of projects worked at school. All of these projects being worked for school purposes had my creativity in them as were undertaken purely for fun and for my satisfaction the curiosity in me for engineering. The last project from the above list was done merely to solve my teacher's problems but I took it to be my problem and found a solution to it. The way I enjoy spending most of my spare time making designs and processes work better increases my capabilities to solve such hands-on engineering problems. As engineering is not just about solving math problems, it is about using logic and reasoning (with physics and creativity) to take on some extreme engineering problems that are very unclear and require a very involved and dedicated hands-on approach. Below are some of the projects I have worked on.
