Technical Projects

Connector Mechanism Design — ENGR 1182

  • Designed a mechanical connector linking a combination-lock dial to a hexagonal rotor, ensuring accurate alignment and consistent rotation.
  • Created multiple design concepts (keyed shaft, friction-fit cylinder, flexible coupling) and evaluated based on manufacturability, fit, and performance.
  • Produced dimensioned engineering sketches with appropriate tolerances and clear functionality.
  • Used CAD modeling and iterative refinement to improve coupling stability and ease of assembly.
