Job overview
Senior Capstone – Develop a prototype device to meet all required criteria to assist in changing a vehicle tire without putting stress on the operator (who would normally move and lift the tire themselves)
Utilized SolidWorks to design the bin that held the tire and performed Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on prototype parts to gage high stress points
Utilized statics to determine the strength needed to safely hold the vehicle tire over an extended period of time
Using the data compiled from FEA, statics, and online articles on the topic, determined the steel required to fabricate the prototype frame
Communicated clearly with goals and priorities in mind, with design team members via in-person meetings
Managed the project budget which included determining the required materials at the lowest cost
