How IoT devices can interface with AWS services    Introduction The integration of IoT technology into all facets of life is progressing at a rapid rate, with use cases found in almost every industry and facet of life. To better understand this growing ecosystem, I created a simulated Internet of Things (IoT) sensor array using […]

An array of PLCs. Image source    What I Learned Around the same time I started learning about PCBs (which you can read more about here), I also began a course on PLCs. As someone who has always enjoyed being able to control things and press buttons, industrial automation has always interested me, which perhaps

Picture of one of my PCB projects, a breadboard power supply    Introduction Just because I have completed my undergraduate studies at UBC doesn’t mean I stopped learning! In an effort to further expand my circuit knowledge and skills in the electronic design automation space, I decided to learn KiCAD. While I also considered Altium,

Picture of the second floor lighting plan    The project worksheets    Introduction As my school semester comes to an end, I now look toward finding a job and (hopefully!) a career. This, of course, begs the question: what kind of work do I want to pursue? While this is a question I have been

Picture of the final prototype, ready for use     The Problem and Project: Developing Thermal-Controlled Formwork for Winter Concrete Pours For my ENGR 499 Capstone Design project, I worked in a group of 6 (4 mechanical, 2 electrical) to design a solution for low-temperature concrete curing of foundational walls for Kelowna multi-family housing developments.

A still of the fidget spinner rotor in motion    The Project One of the major deliverables for ENGR 320 – Electromechanical Devices was to work in a group of 5 and create a functional motor. The design parameters for the project were rather loose, so the group decided to adopt a unique design: fidget

The closed loop system in Simulink, including feedforward gain and a measure for integral square error    The Project One of the major deliverables for ENGR 480 – Modern Control, was to work in a group of 3 and find a model for a system. From this model, the group was to design a state-feedback

A still of the final device    Over the course of our labs of my Microelectronics II course, everyone was tasked to construct a device that measures pulse rate using a method called photoplethysmography (PPG) in groups of two. Up until now, most of my labs were largely independent of one each other in their

The product inside of a mock cup holder    Over the summer, I took a course called ENGR 407 – Inclusive Design. The course is based off of the Inclusive Design principles developed by Microsoft.  One of the main objectives of the course was to create a product for an individual with a spinal cord
