Python:

· Programming with variables, expressions, and arithmetic operations

· Applying mathematical functions for engineering problem solving

· Data visualization and plotting using Matplotlib

· Linear and non-linear curve fitting techniques

· Problem solving in statics, mechanics of materials, and thermo-fluids

· Data handling: reading, storing, and manipulating datasets with NumPy

· Presenting results through clear plots, charts, and tables

· Group Project: Forklift Load Stability Program: Worked with team members to build a Python program calculating and graphing maximum stable load based on system parameters (L1, L2, forklift weight).

· Group Project: Explicit Method Simulation: Collaborated with group mates to create a program modeling time-dependent engineering behavior with graphical results.

SolidWorks:

· Sketching on 2D planes: lines, circles, arcs, rectangles

· Applying sketch constraints and relations

· Dimensioning sketches to control geometry

· Creating extruded and revolved 3D parts

· Using features like holes and fillets

· Editing sketches and feature history

· Organizing part, assembly, and drawing files
