Engineering Team 521
Ivanna Caballero - Materials Engineer
Ivanna is a fourth year Mechanical Engineering student. She is responsible for researching and selecting the materials that are best suited for the development of the RoboBoat. The materials that will be selected will be used to optimize the design. Other responsibilities covered by the materials engineer will be structural integrity, weight and balance, testing and quality control. The materials engineer will also oversee the manufacturing process of these materials to find the safest way of implementing the materials.
Andly Jean - Mechatronics Engineer
Andly is a fourth year Mechanical Engineering student. He is responsible for the programming and the integration of different electronics and subsystems in which they belong to. Working alongside the mechanical systems and electronics engineer, they ensure that each subsystem’s programming and physical output operate as planned.
Nicholas Norwood - Mechanical Systems Engineer
Nicholas is a fourth year Mechanical Engineering student. He is responsible for ensuring that all of the interacting systems of the RoboBoat are integrated together. He is also responsible for helping the mechatronic engineer with designing and integrating the mechanical and electrical components of the project.
Makenzie Wiggins - Design Engineer
Makenzie is a fourth year Mechanical Engineering student. She is responsible for the CAD modeling and analysis of the RoboBoat. She ensures that the boat is stable. This will entail designing the boat for stability and making sure the mounting of components is designed in a way to get the most performance/stability out of the RoboBoat. The design engineer will also work closely/help colleagues to make sure the design is optimized.
Sophia Barron - Electrical Systems Engineer
Sophia is a fourth year Electrical Engineering student. She focuses on the integration of all of the different modular components of this project. She is responsible for implementing and maintaining the electrical systems of the Roboboat, ensuring that they are efficient and reliant. She is also responsible for creating circuit schematics, electrical block diagrams, and troubleshooting issues in making sure that the different systems functionally operate safely.
Michael Fitzsimmons - Electronics Engineer
Michael is a fourth year Electrical Engineering student. He oversees implementation of all electronics onboard the RoboBoat. Main tasks will include ensuring compatibility on various electronics within the overall system, developing and modifying code for communication between electronics, repairing and maintaining circuit boards, as well as creating circuits to connect components.
Lucca Meyer - Test Engineer
Lucca is a fourth year Electrical Engineering student. He is tasked with the responsibility of designing and developing diagnostic tests to ensure that anything relating to the electrical components is on the RoboBoat. Working in conjunction with the electrical systems engineer to confirm that the implementation of the schematics and diagrams are functioning properly. In addition to confirmation of design, the electrical test engineer will check the components and ensure that the highest level of quality and safety is being practiced.
