Objective: Create a chamber that can store two tubs of solder paste and two syringes (leaded and unleaded). The chamber must not look like something that was produced in a typical engineering lab setting.

 

Technical Details: A Peltier element was integrated to control the temperature. Implemented a cavity for air pressure to accomplish motion similar to that of a piston. Incorporated lighting that undulates to give the illusion of breathing. Used insulation and vents to control heat dispersion.

​

Results/Outcome: Lead a team of mechanical, electrical, and entrepreneurial engineering students to create high, mid and low level design work, including BOMs, schematics and 3d modeling/analysis. Lead the aesthetic design of the Environmental Chamber. Specifications, scopes of work, requirements and constraints were identified. Small scale prototypes of the Environmental Chamber were created via a clear cast resin, SLA printer and FDM printer. Design reviews were implemented, as well as the Golden Circle methodology applied.
