The Project

My capstone project, called “Floating Wetlands” , sought to improve an experimental design (shown left) of a device that can filter nitrogen pollutants out of water bodies through a natural bacterial process. As this technology is highly innovative and subject to strict IP agreements, I cannot disclose direct engineering material regarding the project or show our design. However, I can share what my tasks on the team involved and how the overall project will function. As part of the team, I:

• Reviewed design criteria from our client and translated their customer needs into engineering requirements
• Created a bill of materials and financial model for our design.
• Modeled major components and systems in Solidworks.
• Coordinated with our client to resolve supply and financial issues.
• Got hands on with the build, and assembled the final design with 3D printed parts, lumber, and biological medium.
• Performed fluid flow calculations.
• Worked with five other team members to coordinate tasks and responsibilities.
• Presented engineering work to our client and ensured that our progress was meeting their deliverables.
