Main project

Capstone Project

This page is for my main engineering project. I am using it to keep the problem, design choices, tests, and reflections in one place.

Overview

What this page is for

The goal is to choose a real problem, build a working prototype, test it, and improve it based on what I learn. I want the final project to show the process clearly, not just the finished object.

Goals

What I am working toward

  • Pick a problem that is clear enough to test.
  • Build more than one version before deciding what works.
  • Use measurements and feedback to improve the design.
  • Keep the process organized from the first sketch to the final reflection.

How I am starting

I am beginning by looking for problems that are specific enough to build around. A good capstone idea should have a clear user, a clear need, and a way to test whether the solution actually helps.

What I will document

I plan to keep notes on research, sketches, materials, prototype changes, test results, and feedback. That should make it easier to explain why the design changed over time.
