Kinematic analysis and design of a sheet material gripping mechanism for the TRUMPF TC2020R Sheetmaster compact automation unit
The purpose of this project was to analyze and develop a possible solution to sheet imperfections caused by the sheet metal retrieval mechanism utilized on the TRUMPF TC2020R Sheetmaster Compact automation unit. The current design was analyzed using kinematic principles and the factors promoting the creation of sheet imperfections were identified. New functional requirements were developed for the process and a new concept was devised that will conceptually alleviate the problem

Camp REACH alumni workshop development.
Camp REACH is a WPI outreach program that holds workshops during the summer for rising seventh graders. The concern is that they may not get exposure to science and engineering between the Camp REACH project and when they go to college. The purpose of this project is to design a daylong workshop for rising ninth grade alumni to expose them to more science and engineering. We created a day for the girls to be exposed to different aspects of engineering and science through workshops and lab tours. We then conducted and evaluated a test run, and suggested improvements for our workshop
