This was a Rube-Goldberg style design project for a Mechanical Design II class. The idea was to create a feasible design for a Rube-Goldberg style mechanism that would be used for outdoor cooking. The project involved doing detailed analyses of multiple mechanical elements, and making real-world selections for parts that could be used.

This project was an analysis of a retaining wall. The objective of the project was to analyze the forces on the wall and select the best, most cost efficient, size and number of piles to hold the retaining wall in place.

This project was done to design specifications for a c-frame support that would hold a given load. The c-frame was made of steel beams and was part of a statics design class.
