<h1>Courses and Activities</h1>
I am actively involved in co-curricular activities on campus.
The projects listed below are highlights from these activities,
as well as some project-based courses.
<h2>DBF Proposal FY2024</h2>
<p>
The annual AIAA Design, Build, Fly competition is an international competition
consisting of over 70 teams that
"design, fabricate, and demonstrate the flight capabilities of an electric powered, remote-
controlled airplane that can best meet the specified mission profile."<sup><a href="#dbf2024rules">1</a></sup>
</p>
<p>
The competition has 3 major milestones:
proposal, design report, and competition.
The initial 5-page proposal is information dense
regarding the aircraft that the team will be building,
and is required to be high quality in order to get into competition.
</p>
<p>
This competition year,
I was the project lead in charge of the team.
I oversaw proper task delegation, reviewed the final proposal,
and personally worked on the management summary
and conceptual design.
</p>
<p>
The submitted proposal was accepted and ranked 21st out of 149 submissions.
The proposal can be read below:

Background: This team project was a work from ENME204,
Introduction to Engineering Design with CAD.
The course of the objective was to design a toy under $200
for children with disabilities.
</p>
<p>
<b>Executive Summary</b> (copy-pasted):
The Cube 3000 is a 3.5 inch fidget cube with electronic and non-electronic fidgets. The
cube was designed to benefit children with autism and ADHD. Children with autism enjoy
repetitive behaviors which are offered with the many fidgets on the cube. The cube offers an
outlet for all the pent-up energy that children with ADHD have. Each cube face has a variety of
fidgets. Side 4 has three buttons. The bottom white button is the one/off switch for the entire
system. The red and blue buttons turn on separate motors to vibrate the cube. Side 6 has multiple
switches to flick back and forth in addition to ball bearings to roll around. Side 1 contains the
controlling knobs for the lights. Each knob adjusts the brightness of the red, blue, or yellow light
which can be seen through the translucent top face. Side 3 contains three gears for fidgeting
while also including a slider. Lastly, the bottom is the battery access panel which is a textured
surface that the user can run their hand over and must be unscrewed to reach the battery for
safety purposes. All of this was constructed with lightweight materials surrounded by silicon
corner protectors to reduce sharp edges in addition to providing cushioning in the case of a fall.
Gaps were minimized to prevent children from reaching the electronic components. The material
used for the shell was pine wood. The motors, dials, ball bearings, battery casing, and buttons
were premade. The rest of the cube was made out of 3-D printed materials. Although $183.80
out of the $200 budget was spent, the effective cost to construct the fidget cube was $44.13.
