PROJECTS
The best way to show understanding of concepts is by implementing them to solve real-world problems. Project work not only builds our technical knowledge and basic engineering skills, it also helps us develop to our project and team management capabilities.
DESIGN PROJECTS
Empathise. Define. Ideate. Prototype. Test. Iterate.
Using the Design Thinking process, more effective products and user experience can be designed easily.
Design Thinking helps us to include all stakeholders in product design through iterations and iterations of Ideation, Prototyping and Testing.
HELMES - SMART BIKE HELMET
Introduction To Design
A smart bike helmet with retrofitted proximity sensors to enhance safety for cyclists on roads by improving their visibility at night.

 Prototyping StageUsed tapes to demonstrate different light designs. Cut out of helmet to test embedding LED strips inside helmet frame. |
TILTED: A BETTER BED BY DESIGN
Engineering Design Innovation
Prevention of bedsores usually requires nurses to manually adjust the patient's position several times a day. TiltED aims to help nurses tackle labour intensive tasks through the use of soft robotics.
Pneumatic System: pump, sensors, valves
Feedback System: proximity sensor

ENGINEERING PROJECTS
Honing technical and project management skills through engineering projects allows us to put theories learnt and analysis techniques to use in studying real-world problems. I have extensive experience in using Solidworks Computer Aided Design (CAD) software and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for projects.

MATERIAL SELECTION: BALLPOINT PEN
Introduction to Material Science
Conducted a study on a ballpoint pen barrel based on factors including cost, material properties, performance and marketability. Identified the function, objective, constraints and free variables to evaluate the material based on the above factors.

WRISK: SMART WRIST BRACE
Circuits & Electronics | Structures & Materials
Wrist brace to help rehabilitate wrist injuries using a customisable feedback mechanism to suit different recovery stages.
Fabrication using 3D printing
Circuit design using basic IC chips, MOSFET and flex sensors.
TRASHMIGO: SMART TRASH BIN
The Digital World
Smart trash bin with IoT capabilities that logs each user's recyclables and captures a snapshot of the recyclables. The information will then be uploaded to an online database for storage.
Illustrates possible features
SELF-WATERING PLANT SYSTEM
Physics II
A project that harness a simple physics concept to water plants automatically. When the plant requires water, the decrease in the pot's weight causes it to rise upwards, opening a water valve which waters the plant sufficiently till the plot sinks and close the valve.

KARANG GUNI: NEXT GEN RECYCLING
Undergraduate Research Project
A research project that looks into harnessing image recognition technology in recyclables collection to improve profitability of recycling and to promote a viable ecosystem of recyclables.
HACK-A-JEEP
Engineering Good | Thye Hwa Kwan
In collboration with Engineering Good and Thye Hwa Kwan, we modified electrical toy jeeps for children suffering from cerebral palsy for cognitive training and muscle strengthening. We also engineered a mount to incorporate their existing customised seats to ensure that sufficient neck support is provided.
