Upgrading My 3D Printers
Check out this video to see how I upgraded my 3D printers to streamline mass production

One of my first engineering projects, in college, was an extra-curricular competition where the goal was to design a self-controlled mobile device that could travel a set distance and stop autonomously (distance was not given until 10 min before the competition began). Furthermore, if an object crosses over the line it would be disqualified, but if it stops before the line the distance from it to the line would be measured and the object that stops closest to the line would win.
Like most competitions, all designs had to follow specifications regarding dimensions and controls (again no remote controls).

I was always drawn to Mechanical Engineering ever since I was a kid. Engines, motors or gearboxes didn't matter. If it moved I needed to take it apart and figure out how it worked.
Once I started my major as an engineering student I started to realize that mechanical engineers do not deal with only mechanical systems. In today's modern world almost every system is controlled through electronics and governed by closed-looped feedback sensors and software. Therefore Mechanical Engineers must have one of the broadest technical educations in the engineering field.
