  • Final Project Report

    The structure of your report will be similar to what is used in industry and will follow this outline: Project Goals I’ve been in real estate for almost 2 years now and I run a remote property management and outreach company that helps real estate investors. As I met more people and worked with new…

  • Extra Credit Blog Post

    In this blog post I wish to address to areas that I feel like I’ve established understanding of for the course. The two areas being time/project management and robotics. At the start of the year end project, I was told to submit a planning tool and timeline tool to keep Mr. Crompton up to date…

  • Year End Trip Debrief

    Last Monday, the fusion group set out to UVic for a year end trip. There we had a program that basically gave us a quick look into the more complex engineering world. Activities included fluid dynamics, optimization algorithms, making small boats, and visiting a water waste management site. We also stayed in the dorms at…

  • Personal Project Update

    Progress: My Mvp consists of two main parts. The figma drawing as well as a prompted AI model. I inititally intended to complete the entire app but later found that to be impossible with my skill and time alloted to devlop the entire app. Here’s My Figma model: The basic idea of the app is…

  • Vehicle Project Reflection

    Problem Definition We were able to quickly identify our problem statement. This was drafted pretty clearly which gave us a good head start and aim for our prototype. By defining what we needed to accomplish we split the work equally and were left with a good amount of time on our hands. Establishing Norms Our…

  • Final Report – Enceladus Vehicle

    Introduction Enceladus, the moon of Saturn, presents a challenging yet interesting environment for explorers to explore. It’s one of the many places in our universe where life could potentially exist. Problem Statement and Approach My team and I have chosen to design a vehicle to travel safely on Enceladus while avoiding icy temperatures, around –…

  • Designing a Vehicle for Enceladus

    Definition Statement My team and I have chosen to study Enceladus and design a vehicle for it to travel safely while avoiding icy temperatures, around – 201 degrees Celsius, high-power efficiency, geysers of water vapor, high brightness induced low visibility, dangerous radiation levels, and the possibility of escaping from Enceladus’s gravity pull (0.113m/s2). The vehicle…

  • An introduction to Enceladus

    Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, one of the many places where life could possibly exist in our solar system. Discovered in 1789 by astronomer William Herschel, with a small diameter of around 504 kilometers, the moon stands out with its bright and icy surface. My team and I have chosen to study Enceladus and design…

  • Beginner Robotics

    Aside from the small workshop in grade 9, I have never encountered Arduino before and this is my first time working with it. Luckily the set I was given came with a manual that taught me the parts, and gave me different projects to do. I decided to work on this digital hourglass project. The…
