EGR 201 Water Rocket Competition- Had to design and build a water rocket that could go as far as
possible while being as cheap as possible. This has taught me a lot about working in Solid works
and simulations to try and optimize the rocket to go as far as possible while still making it less
expensive.

Developed a working robot that could accomplish multiple tasks given design specifications with
constraints, using the engineering method, problem-solving skills, and iteration to develop project
design. I helped develop the robot design as well as building it. I also was in charge of the
documentations for our Engineering notebook.
