Course Project in Materials Characterization (Fall 2024)

Key Outcomes:

• Gained foundational knowledge of crystal structures, phase diagrams, and materials design and processing.
• Developed an ability to assess the processing and design limitations of different materials, setting a strong foundation for advanced MSE courses.
• Enhanced analytical skills through the study of material properties and their applications in various engineering contexts.

Course Project in Engineering Design (2023)

Key Outcomes:

• Got the idea of using light to wake users silently.
• Explored how light influences waking up to design a lamp that mimics sunrise. Built and tested a simple wake-up lamp that gently simulates sunrise.
• Effectively communicated the project’s purpose and results in a compelling final presentation.

• Introduction to Materials Engineering: Enrolled in courses and gained foundational knowledge in material properties and basic materials processing techniques.
• Materials Characterization: Learned techniques for analyzing the structure for analyzing the structure and composition of materials using different tools like CES. Utilized MATLAB for data analysis to better understand material properties.
