Distance Learning Projects from RHS Engineering Students

Students in Computer Aided Design II/Prototyping class designed custom mechanisms for their final capstone projects. The objective was to design and draw a complex mechanism with moving parts such as gears or cams. After hours of research, sketching and planning their designs on paper, the parts were drawn on AutoDesk Inventor, OnShape or SketchUp in 3D. After each part was drawn to extreme accuracy and precision, the mechanism was assembled as a unit, as seen below. If school was in session, the next step would be to 3D print and/or laser cut each part and make a final assembly in class.

RHS teacher Mark Dotta, said "There are no words to express how proud I am of these students! The level of complexity they were able to accomplish is outstanding considering that they were working from home. Below are a few outstanding projects. I hope you can all appreciate the level of detail and work that went into these projects."
