Life-Cycle Design and Construction Course - Architectural Skin
Worked as an equal member of a five-person team to design and propose an alternative architectural building skin for the Integrative Genomics Building. Through project deliverables we proposed three skin types with the goals to reduce HVAC system requirements, improve aesthetics, maximize natural lighting, and minimize routine maintenance. Following a weekly work plan to maximize team efficiency, we produced a final report documenting installation risk factors, skin type comparisons with the Choosing-By-Advantages method, cost estimates, construction schedules, engineering analyses, and schematic plans and sections.
Transportation Systems Engineering Course Lab Reports
Worked as an equal member of a four-person team to evaluate traffic mitigation methods along a hypothetical weaving section of the CA-24 freeway by utilizing the four-step transportation forecasting model. We determined a set of traffic conditions applicable to our weaving section using the Highway Capacity Manual, we created time-space diagrams, performed a capacity analysis, implemented queueing theory, and performed the analysis of traffic equilibrium on three mitigation alternatives. In conclusion we created a cost/benefit comparison between three mitigation alternatives to find that the best option was the addition of a ramp meter.
Education
BESSA
Bridge Building Workshop Facilitator
Led and participated in the bridge building activity with children of various ages for the Black Engineering and Science Student Association’s (BESSA) annual A Stand for Education event. By reaching out to local neighborhoods and schools to bring students to engage in STEM related hands-on activities, our goal was to encourage the students to pursue careers in STEM fields.
Education
EBCF
Mentor Recruitment Speaker
Spoke on my experience as a student scholarship recipient in the East Bay College Fund Scholarship Program (EBCF). Spoke of the opportunities EBCF offers students from program coordinators, community donors, and mentors with whom students are paired during their college careers. The goal was to encourage potential mentors to become support systems for students in 2-year and 4-year colleges.
Environment
Watershed Project
Engineering, the Environment, and Society Course
Our student group of four worked with the Watershed Project in Richmond, CA to develop teaching materials meant to educate middle and high school students about different ways to maintain a healthy planet. We designed and constructed a bioswale model and created workbooks to assist the students in designing their own bioswales and rain gardens.
