Millennium Fellowship Project: Engineering for Positive Change
Our project focused on bridging the gap between class work and practical skills by engaging students in technical trainings, challenges and a group project.
We started by organizing trainings on PCB design Engineering simulations. The trainings were offered every thusrday evening at 1900hrs to 2030hrs for a total of eight weeks. We worked with student volunteers to head the training sessions.
During our tech week event, we organized for challenges on two tracks: structural and electrical. Under the structural track, we tasked students with redesigning the campus' Assembly Hall while considering aethetics, cost, and practicality. On the electrical track, student teams were tasked with making line-maze solving robot.
At the beginning of November, we also started a group project aimed at designing, making, and deploying a vertical axis wind turbine. This phase of the project is still ongoing.
