Undergraduate (2007-11)

I was lucky enough to attend MIT for my undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering.  Most of my time here was quite excellent and I had a gnarly time indeed.

Class Projects
One of the big reasons I wanted to major in Mechanical Engineering was that the undergraduate curriculum included many great "project based" classes.  Check it.
  
The Daily Blunderbuss (Comic)
I wrote a comic for a bit.  Not exactly Wiener material, but you might have a chuckle or two if you ignore the "artwork".

Bad Ideas Competition
An annual competition put on by East Campus dormitory to come up with bad ideas and build them over the January term.  Hasn't resulted in any deaths yet.  I think..

Discover Mechanical Engineering (DME)
A freshmen pre-orientation program that I took part in when I was a frosh and then later coordinated when I was a junior.

MADFAB Furniture Design Competition
A contest put on my the MIT Hobby Shop and friends.

MASLAB Robotics Competition
A autonomous robotics competition that took place over IAP (January term).

Lobby 7 Design Competition
Yet another competition.  This one was to design sculptures to put on the plinths (boring-ass pedestals) in Lobby 7 

Pharmaceutical Filtration UROP
My only UROP!  Had fun working on a crazy little machine.

Digitally Reconfigurable Mold
My senior thesis!  An ongoing project...

All that glisters is not gold;
Often have you heard that told.
Many a man his life hath sold
But my outside to behold.
Gilded tombs do worms enfold.
