Melissa A. Patino

• Worked with a team to design, model, and analyze the feasibility of a portable pool lift

• Chose proper dimensions, materials, and placements to prevent failure

• Provided the calculations that proved the lift’s stability

• Used the scientific method and engineering design process to find and solve a problem facing biomedical engineers
• Created a prototype that detects air bubbles in IV tubing
• Resolved data and recorded discrepancies with actionable corrective solutions
• Presented research and findings to an audience of 60 people

• Conducted 12 experiments with three teammates that tested various variables and allowed us to reach the turbine's maximum efficiency

• Created bill of materials (BOM) for all raw materials and produced cost analysis for remaining parts

• Presented final turbine build to a panel of four renewable energy experts
