Considerations for Team Formation
- Project
preference
- All team members should have a
desire to work on the same project.
- Team's engineering skill
set
- The team's expertise should
match up with the project's fabrication requirements.
- Personality
- There should be a compatible
mix of personalities in the team.
- Friends and team
members
- A good friend does not
necessarily make a good team mate.

Questions to ask Potential Project Team Members
- Do you have fabrication / PRL
experience?
- Do you have sufficient time to
devote to this project?
- Are you taking other project
courses this quarter?
- Do you have a passion for this
project?
- Is there any reason that you
would not make a good team member?

Team
Formation Preparedness
Since there is no guarantee
that other students will have similar project interests, you should be prepared
to do one of the following:
- convince others to work with
you on one of your selected projects
- consider working with another
student on a project he/she has chosen
- keep an open mind

Available Team Projects
Here is a listing of available
team projects with links to their descriptions in the order of their pitch
presentation. (Projects that have already been chosen by a project team are not
shown.)

Project Selection & Team Formation
Procedure
Procedure:
- Make sure the project your are
interested in is available
- Refer to
Preference by Projects and contact other students
who have similar project interests
- Verify their desire and
availability to work on the project
- Once a team of three or
four is formed, email Dave with your project selection, team members, and
team name (optional)
Policies:
- Students currently on this
Wait List can be chosen to be on a project team, but their official enrollment
in the course is still pending.
- Teams will have three or four
members
- The Magical Bridge Playground
Project can support two teams
- Projects are reserved on a
"first to email" basis

Amezcua Hernandez,
Sal
 Grad ME |
Short
Description:
My name is
Sal, a current co-term in MechE (Design undergrad) and I like all things
design, especially the interactive aspects (working with people/users). I've
worked on many fabrication projects through the CHARM Lab and PRL/ME courses
and can work with any processes (maybe except weld). As far as workload this
quarter goes, I'm also in ME210 (Mechatronics), a light 1 unit design course
and am a CA for the new Clubhouse (CHIP). |

Falade,
Omotunde
 Senior sts (bs) |
Short
Description:
Hello! I am
a junior majoring in Mechanical Engineering with a strong interest in
human-centered design. I have completed ME 102 and am currently enrolled in ME
103, and I spend significant time in the Product Realization Lab (PRL), where I
am very familiar with the available tools, fabrication processes, and
resources. I have hands-on experience with prototyping and enjoy iterating
designs based on testing and user needs.
Through
past student projects and coursework, I have developed solid skills in
fabrication, teamwork, presentation, and technical report writing. I manage my
time well and have a moderate workload this quarter, but I am committed to
contributing consistently and reliably to a team.
My passion
for this course is deeply personal: growing up as a caregiver for my
grandmother with limited mobility shaped my desire to design solutions that
improve quality of life for people with disabilities and older adults. I am
highly motivated to work on projects that combine empathy, engineering, and
practical impact to make everyday tasks easier and more accessible.

 Senior ME |
Short
Description:
Hello, my
name is Pablo Morales. I am a current senior studying Mechanical Engineering
with a huge interest in design specifically for accessibility. I have lots of
experience in additive manufacturing and design. Quarter is pretty tight due to
heavy course load but free past 5pm on Mondays and Wednesdays. With addition to
these days free 9am-12:30pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Being an individual who
is challenged with ADHD I love the concept of inclusivity and why Im so
passionate about designing for all. |

 Junior STS (BS) |
Short
Description:
I have a
strong personal interest and passion for storytelling so the afterlife project,
while I got the sense that it was slight satire, I found that I connected with
the most but I also don't think too many people will choose that one so I am
also super open to creating laptop storage and cutting board solutions for
Abby. |

MS Computer Science
At
Stanford, I've taken ME102, ME103, ME104, ME127, ME128, ME129, and ME170, all
of which involved substantial work in the PRL. Beyond school, Ive done
hands-on mechanical design work during internships at NVIDIA, Google, and Xos
Trucks.
For my
senior capstone project, I worked on an off-road wheelchair attachment for
Kyaro Assistive Tech, which was a super rewarding experience. I got to travel
to Tanzania and even meet with some wheelchair users we were designing
for!
I am pretty
free on Monday Wednesdays, and Fridays (no class those days). My Tuesday and
Thursday mornings and Thursday evenings are also pretty free. |
