ME1670 Group Project
As part of a team, I helped design an innovative multipurpose stroller that also functions as a scooter, aimed at providing a practical solution for parents and caregivers who need both a stroller and a mobility option in one product. My individual responsibility in this project was to design and create the scooter deck and stroller base, ensuring both components were functional, safe, and easy to transition between stroller and scooter modes. I worked closely with my team to integrate the mobility features, focusing on ensuring stability, durability, and a user-friendly design that would meet the needs of the target audience. This project allowed me to combine creativity and engineering skills to solve a real-world problem while collaborating with a multidisciplinary team.
ME1670 - Engineering Graphics Creative Ideation Project
Designed an everyday item that reflects a cultural aspect of my life, it would help to know more about your cultural background or personal experiences. Could you share a bit about your heritage or any cultural traditions that are meaningful to you? Based on that, I can suggest a product idea that connects with your culture!
