PROJECTS
Design Project
For the design project, we will come up with an idea for an invention or mechanism of some sort, then determine the best way to create the idea implementing engineering principles we have learned over the years. By the end of the fall semester we will model the project and the goal for EOH is to have a physical model to show. Examples in the past include the bicycle shown in the picture, as well as a study on the Magnus Effect. This year’s design project was a human-powered scissor lift.
