SENIOR DESIGN PROJECT: NET-ZERO HOUSE DESIGN
Image: New Orleans Habitat Project House Modified Attic-Space
This project's goal was to minimize internal and external thermal loads on the building envelope of a New Orleans residence. This optimized energy requirement was to be offset by energy generated on-site.
The design process involved significant research and the utilization of Hourly Analysis Program (HAP), a building load modeling software.

CAD Example: Craft Knife Technical Drawings
This was a CAD-based project to produce technical drawings of an assembly. I chose to model a craft knife.

Drafting Example: Gate Latch Drawings (Hand-drawn)
These are technical hand-drawings I made for a simple gate latch I designed.

Self-Study Example: Polynomial brachistochrone Curves
Image: Classical Brachistochrone (blue) vs. 2nd Order Polynomial (green)
This project was a study of the function whose curve would allow for the fastest traversal of an object only under the influence of gravity.
Using MATLAB and clever coding, I devised a method for finding polynomials that approximated the exact cycloid solution.

Writing Samples
SolidWorks CAD TutorialThis written tutorial walks one through the steps in modeling several components of the craft knife assembly (see above project). This piece of technical writing assumes a basic understanding of SolidWorks.
