Hi, my name is Surina and I am a senior at Lovett College majoring in Electrical & Computer Engineering. I am originally from Dallas, Texas. I wanted to take classes in Engineering Design because I haven’t had much experience in the OEDK but I wanted to learn how to use the machines it has. A project I am proud of is a autonomous car I built with my team last semester. Something I want to build is a frame or a box. I don’t have much experience with technical tools like the miter saw, laser cutter, 3D printing, or even extensive use of a sewing machine, so I am hoping to learn how to use these during the semester, and maybe even get more advanced techniques under my belt for the projects I am most interested in. I am most excited about laser cutting and designing fun things to 3D print. I want to make laser cut picture on a piece of acrylic or other material and a stand to go along with it to gift or keep on my desk. I also hope to harness some of these techniques for future projects like senior design. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone and learning new skills this semester!
