Week of 4/10/19

For the week of 4/10/19 I worked on creating different CAD models of varying clamps to get an idea of what we are looking for. I also met with professor furman and we narrowed down the idea for a simple clamp using a standing seem clamp and C channels for the solar racking rails. Working with the other members of my team I have set tasks to make sure we can get the presentation done and CAD models with the new simplified clamp in place. I will continue to work diligently and speak with the professor to aid my team and I in completing this project.

Week 5/8/19

For the week of 5/8/19 we had our prototype evaluation. Overall the professor and Ron seemed very pleased with our final product. We had met our design goals and we were given some further advice on how to improve the structure of the canopy. We then prepared the presentation for friday. I took the lead on the presentation and had tasks assigned for each of us to complete. We were more than prepared for our presentation for Friday and I believe it is our best one yet. -Francisco Trejo

I finished up some shop drawings that will help with assembly. For the upcoming week I will be helping finalize the assembly of our prototype and work on some FEA for certain portions of the canopy if the ansys fea does not work. We have about a week left. -Francisco Trejo

Hi, my name is Francisco Trejo I'm a 4th year ME student who's eager to contribute to the Spartan Superway project. This project attracted me because I see the passion that is going into this project, its evident from the professor all the way down to the students and I want to be a part of that and help contribute and learn along the way. I'm excited to see where we end up by the end of the school year, really looking forward to it.
