Princeton Racing Electric
Goal: Design a fully electric vehicle and compete in the Formula Hybrid Competition
My Contribution
Beginning in my Freshman year, I spread myself across three separate subteams to help wherever I could. Working with steering I optimized ackerman and modeled the require geometries. With Suspension I modeled the rocker in CREO (connected to the pushrods and chassis) in a modular way such that it could be easily changed later according to better optimized points. Finally, with the administration I worked to get the team a new computing setup and NX as a tool.
Meanwhile, in my sophomore year I worked as the mechanical lead (leading steering, chassis, suspension, welding, ) for the team. I created a formalized system for teaching incoming students, and passing down previous knowledge in an organized way. Beyond this, I personally designed the suspension system for the car. I also optimized the chassis to be rules-compliant, created a jig to weld it, and oversaw welding.
Now, I work as one of four Chief Engineers, personally leading the design of the MK3 Chassis, Suspension, and Steering, while overseeing the designs of four projects: Aerodynamics, Grounded Low Voltage, MK3 Power-train, Suspension Manufacturing
