Elijah Rosas University of California, Davis Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department March 26th, 2014 ENGR 10 Intro to Engineering OUTLINE • About Me • Chabot College • Transferring • University of California, Davis • Senior Design Project • Engineering Experience • Advice ABOUT ME • Grew up in Oakland, CA • Graduated Arroyo High School in 2003 • Decided To Pursue Engineering in 2006 • Employment: 99 Cent Store, Insurance Co., Payphone Co. • Transferred from Chabot to UC Davis in 2009 • Graduated in 2011 with B.S. in Mechanical Engineering WHAT GOT ME INTERESTED? ● I got Mail. ● Mechanical, Civil, Electrical? ● Taking THIS, ENGR10 course sparked my interest ● The thought of enriching peoples lives CHABOT COLLEGE • ENGR 10,22,25,36,43,45 • PHYSICS 4 (A,B,C) • MATH 1,2,3,4,6 • Toughest class is ENGR 25 • Worked at Pacific Telemanagement Services (Payphones) TRANSFER EXPERIENCE • Lived at an apartment, through student housing • Biked to school everyday • Friendly Environment • Great Campus CHABOT VS. UC DAVIS ● Same Intense Engineering Courses ● UC Davis has TA’s ● Huge Campus ● FOOD!!! UC DAVIS • Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering • Lower Division • Manufacturing Processes • Upper Division • Dynamics • Thermodynamics • Fluid-Mechanics • Professional Responsibilities • Mechanics of Materials • Control Systems • Thermo-Fluid Mechanics • Experimental Methods • Heat Transfer • Mechanical Design • Sim and Des of Mech. Systems • Electronic Systems (Electrical, Computer, Agricultural, Civil, Mechanical, BioMedical, BioSystems) STUDY ABROAD IN SPAIN ● Spanish Art (Burgos, Spain) ● Learn about the buildings and paintings ● Lots to see (Madrid, Salamanca, San Sebastian) ● Great Experience!!! SENIOR DESIGN PROJECT Purpose Our team was to come up with a pill dispensing prototype for the elderly that may not cohere to their complicated medication schedule. Specifications • 6 different medications • One week supply • User Programmable • Audio and Visual Alarm • Child-safe • Sized for counter top • Powered from standard outlet SYSTEM ARCHITECURE VIDEO TIME!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwP2v5Mhuf8 CHALLENGES ● Learning programming and software (in weeks) ● Learning about different mechanisms ● Solving unforeseen problems FUEL CELL PROJECT Illumina, Inc. ● DNA Sequencing Instruments ● Optical Alignment (LED, Lasers, Optics, Cameras) LAM Research ● Design a test stand to measure temperature uniformity on a wafer ● Next Generation Wafer Tool Process LAM Research ● Design a test stand to measure temperature uniformity on a wafer ● Next Generation Wafer Tool Process GRADUATE COURSE PROJECT ● Data Acquisition Project ● Material handling robot ● Determine material and size ● Count the number of material ● Very time consuming ● Fun, Nonetheless ● Video: http://youtu.be/79VXPq4jyx8 ADVICE ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Get involved Try New Things (Take Classes) Learn to apply theory to real applications Ask Questions Develop relationships with professors Network with students Exercise ● ANY QUESTIONS???
