compartment, payload bay, and rear hatch. Some manufacturing processes and design tools
include: laser-cutting, 3D printing, SOLIDWORKS, ANSYS Fluent, and machine shop tools. The
structural components of the plane are consisted mainly of balsa wood, plywood, and
aluminum, with a few ABS plastic components.
UBC AeroDesign Student Team Senior Member
September 2015 – Present
Every year, the UBC AeroDesign Engineering Student
Team undertakes the challenge of creating a radio-
controlled airplane capable of lifting heavy payloads for
the international Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)
Aero Design Competition. Unlike our past years, this year
with a brand new executive team, we completely
redesigned the plane from scratch to incorporate a
tapered wing, a much more streamlined fuselage, and
advanced current monitoring electrical components in
hopes to build a more competitive aircraft. As a senior
member of the fuselage sub-team, I co-lead the 10-
person sub-team in designing and manufacturing all
components of the fuselage including the engine

Stair Lift Design Project February 2015 – March 2015
This design project was an individual
project aimed to practice drafting in 3D
AutoCAD as well as using the design
process. The stair lift device is capable
of lifting a seated person up to 175kg
and uses a ½ horsepower electric motor
and 5 helical gears. All the parts of the
stair lift were drafted by me except for
the electric motor, which was borrowed
from GRABCAD.

STOP-UXO Design Project January 2015 – February 2015
During this design project in Mech 2, I built
a remote-controlled vehicle capable of
maneuvering through sand terrain and
detecting buried electromagnets in assigned
group of six in 4 weeks. The vehicle features
a compact gear box as well as differential
steering. All the parts of the car except the
wheels, gears, and electronics were made
from raw material with tools like 3-D
printers and the machine shop. Our biggest
challenge during the project was the gears
not adhering to its axles, which caused us to
forfeit three of the five rounds during the
program-wide competition. Nonetheless, we
came in 7th overall and had an amazing
experience with prototyping, building, and
team work.

Mag-Lev Device August 2014 – September 2014
During a course in Mech 2, I machined and
assembled a device that levitates a magnetic
rod between the black casing on the bottom
and the metal housing on the top. A Hall
Effect sensor at the bottom measures the
magnetic field and relays the signal to a
circuit which controls a coil at the top. I
used tools such as lathes, milling machines,
drill presses, and hand tools to machine the
parts to errors of up to ±0.005”. I also
soldered all the components of the circuit
board.

Condominium December 2012– April 2013
As a final project in Grade 12 Drafting, I collaborated with 3 teammates on the design and
drawing of a 4-storey condominium using AutoCAD over 4 months. We each individually
designed parts of the assignment such as the parking lot, the rooms, and the recreational areas,
having to create many parts not provided by AutoCAD. The completed 3D drawing was fully
rendered and decorated with accessories such as trees and sidewalks. However, only the 2D
floorplan below was retained.
EuRo Project April 2015
During the second design project in Mech 2, I
built a 4-wheel RC vehicle propelled by two 2-
L pop bottles filled with pressurized water and
air in our assigned group of 6. The purpose of
the project was to design a light-weight jet
propelled vehicle capable of making tight
turns on smooth concrete, has high speed, and
travels a long distance. Extensive MATLAB
simulations were developed to predict the
vehicle’s performance in the competition as
well as optimize the vehicle parameters such
as the nozzle diameter and the amount of
water we should put in the bottles each round
to optimize our score. The vehicle features a
water-jet cut aluminum chassis and steering
system and 3D printed wheels.
