Principles of Engineering Design
Role
Project Manager, Builder

As the project manager and builder, I helped design a machine that accurately winds a specific length of cable. Inspired by transatlantic cable systems, our final design featured an encoder to measure spool rotations and ensure consistent results.

Challenges with coding and mechanical adjustments tested my ability to pivot and refine designs on the fly.
