OTHER DESIGN PROJECTS
MATBOARD BRIDGE
Course Project
FALL 2016
Designed, calculated, and constructed matboard bridge based on given material constraints. The bridge participated in a competition in the Civil Engineering Labs at the University of Toronto, where it was tested for strength and durability under mobile weight and stationary weight conditions.
TRUSS BRIDGE
Course Project
FALL 2016
Redesigned an existing bridge in the city of Toronto using a truss design. Calculations and previous iterations were also provided to justify the strength and durability of the final design.

ROOM KEY REMINDER SYSTEM
Course Project
FALL 2015
Presented potential solutions to many students being locked out of their room at a residence at the University of Toronto.
The current system involved asking the front desk to page a security official, who would then escort the student to their room. This was extremely time-inefficient, as security personnel were often not immediately available to escort the student.
The proposed solutions attempted to eliminate the need for the student to be escorted.
The solutions that were presented were:
-
A sticker replacement for the key
-
A key-card holder system inside the door that would prevent the student from leaving without their key
-
A key dispensing machine that used the student's university ID to verify their identity
