Welcome to ENGR160!

Second semester first-year, here. My name is Christina Holman and welcome to my engineering portfolio. If you click on the About Me, you can read even more about why I have this blog.

With a start of a new semester, I am starting ENGR160 Fundamentals of Engineering, and I am excited -- ecstatic rather -- to take my second academic step towards becoming an engineer. Whereas Product Creation for All -- the first-year seminar I took with Prof. Banzaert last semester -- was a simple introduction to design concepts and an exploration for all, Fundamentals of Engineering covers exactly what it says: the fundamentals. If I master those, it really means I have a foundation to build on.

I never shy away from telling people about my dream and my love for applied physics/engineering: I am a prospective dual major in Economics and (Electrical) Engineering. I absolutely plan on pursuing either the MIT or Olin engineering program, while covering the requirements for the economics degree from Wellesley. (A lot of people don't know of the program, but I hope that that bit of information inspires you to look more into it.) I cannot wait to collaborate with a new group of classmates and expand my creativity skills as well as my technical skills. What's more, I am absolutely ready to tackle my first assignment: laser-cut bottle openers.

 Interesting facts about myself: I'm a coffee addict, I have one younger sister and I love classic films (black-and-white, musicals, all the works)

(As this post was drafted a while ago, it has been slightly updated to reflect present feelings.)

    Glad to have you back in my class and have the opportunity to dig deeper into engineering concepts!

Laser-Cut Bottle Opener (3 of 3)

3rd Design: With limited time and a failed second iteration , my partner and I hoped to resolve the dimensions issues and modify the design. A few things we noted: -- The lamp pole wasn't the best handle. We needed some sort of curve to aid grabbing the bottle opener. -- The arms were too weak and tiny but we liked the idea of a similar lift; maybe we needed a larger hook and another point of leverage. -- The base of the lamp (the bottom opening) appeared that it would work if it had been printed to scale. So we wouldn't mess with that portion of the design. We returned to SolidWorks and modified our design, by eliminating the bottom arm and forming a more exaggerated upper arm/hook. We added a little bump on the pole to make a better handle (similar to the curves on the first design -- the "Bottle" bottle opener). However, again, when we sent it to the laser printer, our drawing was scaled down about half or more. [ A note on SolidWorks: After remeasuring and

Truss Design 02

Image
The second part of the final project for EK301 (Mechanics) consists of a preliminary design -- or, rather, several preliminary designs and one identified draft. Having the data from the straw lab test and the resultant code to determine the approximate load that a straw can hold based on its length, it took quite a bit of creativity to find the perfect combination of straws. However, to simplify this process, the class was instructed to use a MATLAB code that would take a design and then indicate which member of the truss would fail first. It is important to note that all designs were given the same parameters: Figure: One of two designs selected The truss must be a single, planar, simple truss.  Members must be joined concurrently at joints using the provided pins and double pinned to the guest plates.  Gusset plates may be any geometry but must have an area of less than 16 sq. cm. All joint-to-joint distances must be at least 10 cm and no longer than 16 cm. The truss mus

Introduction to My Product

Again, welcome to my design blog! To read a little more about who I am and my goals, check out About Me . Here is a brief summary: I am a first year at Wellesley College I hope to become an engineer and pursue my interest in energy development I am also interested in economics and want to learn how to apply energy technology to economic systems I am still learning about myself... Two central goals I have for this class is 1) to enhance my creativity as an engineer and 2) to gain a better understanding of my engineer style. Whereas the latter will become clearer over time, I have already started to resolve the former through my exploration of the VHS tape VHS Tape Being the nostalgic person I am, I constantly find myself watching classic musicals and black-and-white films. In doing so, I have gained an appreciation for the revolution that the invention of film caused and has led to in the modern era. VHS and cassette tapes radically changed the social interactions betwe
