AC Kinetics
Product Design Engineering Intern
• Private Engineering Firm that focuses on developing new products and software.
• Led a group of 5 interns tasked with identifying a household problem, coming up with solutions, and completing a prototype.
My group chose to make a smart register heating system to more efficiently heat a house. We emplyed the entire design process from brainstorming to testing to prototyping. After taking data, we made a working prototype. To complete this a microchip had to be coded and an actual heating register made.
