"I am thrilled to share a glimpse into one of the captivating lessons happening in our Young Engineers program! 🚀 Last week, our aspiring engineers delved into the fascinating world of towing mechanisms, exploring the intricate dynamics between towing and towed parts in a towing system. In this engaging session, our young innovators had the opportunity to get hands-on with towed and towing cars, unraveling the mechanics behind their connection. From understanding the concept of a towing joint mechanism to experimenting with different setups, our students showcased immense curiosity and enthusiasm throughout. One of the highlights of the lesson was the discovery that a single tow hitch proves to be a more efficient solution than a double-tow hitch—a valuable insight that underscores the importance of optimization and innovation in engineering design. Moreover, our budding engineers embarked on an exciting experiment, placing the movable joint on the side of the towed car. Witnessing firsthand how the towing car initiates the turn, followed by the towed car, sparked profound curiosity and ignited a deeper understanding of vehicle dynamics. At the heart of our Young Engineers program lies the spirit of exploration, creativity, and collaboration. Working in pairs, our students embraced teamwork, problem-solving, and critical thinking, laying the foundation for future innovation and excellence. I am immensely proud of the dedication and enthusiasm exhibited by each member of our class. Together, we are not just learning about engineering—we are shaping the future of innovation, one lesson at a time. #YoungEngineers #STEMEducation #FutureInnovators #HandsOnLearning #EngineeringExploration 🚗💡"

Reflecting on one of the most technically challenging projects of my academic career! 🚗🔧 During my time at De Montfort University, I had the privilege of designing the mechanical powertrain for the Formula Student race car. My contributions were crucial in ensuring both performance and safety. Here are some of the key highlights: • Calculated the dimensions for the sprockets and determined the optimal gear ratio to maximize performance. • Performed Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on all components to ensure structural integrity and safety under stress. • Designed a motor adapter to connect the motor to the sprockets, ensuring efficient power transmission. • Developed a sprocket adapter for the differential. • Designed a scatter shield to protect the driver in case of chain or sprocket failure. • Designed and proposed brackets and mounts for the chassis to support the motor and powertrain system. • Detailed the installation process, outlining step-by-step procedures for assembling the powertrain. Additionally, I had the opportunity to attend a high-voltage training session with HORIBA MIRA, alongside my team members. This training provided essential safety knowledge related to high-voltage systems, further solidifying my skills in working with electric vehicle components. This project significantly deepened my understanding of mechanical powertrains, safety measures, and the importance of efficient design. I look forward to applying these experiences in future projects and challenges! #MechanicalDesign #FormulaStudent #Engineering #Powertrain #SafetyFirst #Teamwork #Innovation

03.29.2024 | 📚The 2024 Spring semester is getting into Finals season. The next four weeks may perhaps be the busiest and most challenging ones of my life to date. As as Mechanical Engineering student at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, I've been subjected to a breadth of courses in engineering principles in my busiest semester yet, 17 credit-hours. This semester, I've learned that I am capable of doing far more work in a given amount of time than I ever knew possible. In studying, designing, building, and creating my way to becoming an engineer, I've found that being a part of an organization, be that a club or a laboratory, holds massive significance for those engineering students who want to feel connected to the material they are learning in the books. I've had the opportunity to work in the Propulsion Lab in the Prescott campus, since Fall 2023, and I can't understate the value I've gained from the experience and involvement I've had there. I believe that having ongoing projects, overlayed with your studies, can give a student excitement and drive that tethers their studies to the physical engineering that it's all really about. This is an appreciation post for the opportunity I've had to work in the Propulsion Laboratory of Embry Riddle in Prescott, AZ. No matter how rigorous my studies, I've always found my work in the lab to be a driving force for me. Its the real engineering projects I work on and take leadership in that, to me, define my success. In life, I stand behind my accomplishments. The lab has given me an environment to develop within; a structure for growth. Without the work I'm able to so often share here on LinkedIn, I'd find it hard to stay passionate in the midst of weeks on end occupying myself with nothing but math. Luckily, this isn't the case, and I couldn't be more grateful to be a part of the program I am. ScholarshipOwl #clubs #laboratory

For one of our very own #MechanicalEngineering students, the path to an #engineering degree began with a childhood love of building things — "making LEGO planes, fixing Nerf guns or making box forts." Read more about Alexander's Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University journey below.

I really enjoy seeing developing engineers and the innovations that are physically displayed - WATCH: This bicycle is Australia’s fastest human-powered single-track vehicle Student engineers from Monash University have built and successfully raced Australia’s fastest human-powered single-track vehicle. A pair of Monash University engineering students-turned-racers have broken the Australian single-track speed record, reaching 116 km/h in Nevada as part of the World Human Powered Speed Challenge. The racers are part of Monash Human Power, a student-run team that aims to build the fastest human-powered vehicle in the world. Kit Kirby and Alastair Haslam both broke the previous record, with Kirby setting the new threshold of 116 km/h. They were supported by a passionate and skilled team of innovative engineers. “The goal has always been [to] push the boundary of what humans can do physically,” Kirby told create. Watch the video below to learn how Monash Human Power constructed the bicycle, what it’s like to lie inside, and why there are higher speeds on the horizon for the Monash Human Power team.
