Eric Wu

• Developed 3 innovative solar racking prototypes by analyzing 50+ patents and using CAD modeling to enhance durability by 25%
• Optimized solar panel designs through 10+ wind tunnel tests and structural deflection assessments for solar-agriculture integration
• Enhanced solar racking design across 5 installations and integrated an agricultural ecosystem into renewable energy infrastructure

• Applied circuitry design, signal processing, and electrical principles through 5 hands-on projects and 1 proposed team presentation
• Engaged in 20 lectures and discussions with 3 practical applications of circuitry concepts, with emphasis on complex circuit analysis
• Designed and simulated 5+ analog and digital circuits through Multisim and validated performance through theoretical modeling

• Conducted a comparative analysis of educational robots and software using scholarly databases like IEEE Xplore and JSTOR
• Performed and implemented 5+ qualitative research methods to evaluate the usability, effectiveness, and limitations of various tools

Yahtzee

• Engineered a 13-category Yahtzee scoring engine in Python using object-oriented inheritance and polymorphism to modularize, simplify, and extend scoring logic consistently across all category types, enabling a clean interface and easy access for user use
• Refactored shared scoring logic into reusable base classes, reducing new-category implementation to under 15 efficient lines of code
• Built an interactive command-line interface (CLI) game supporting dice rolling, strategic rerolls, real-time scorecard updates, robust input validation, and comprehensive error handling, deployable seamlessly across both macOS and Windows operating systems
• Validated scoring logic thoroughly against all 13 official Yahtzee scoring categories through detailed manual test-case walkthroughs, ensuring consistently accurate point calculation for special tricky edge cases like full houses, small and large straights, and Yahtzees

• Python
• Object-Oriented Design

Automated Glove-Donning Device

• Designed a touchless, automated glove-donning device to reduce surgical site infections, using Arduino-controlled linear actuators and UVC disinfection to automate a sanitation process shown to consume up to 25% of healthcare workers' shift/preparation time
• Conducted comprehensive competitive and patent landscape analysis across 5 commercial products and 5 patents to define 9 measurable design requirements, then used weighted decision matrices to systematically narrow 15+ concepts to a final CAD design
• Designed, 3D-printed, and assembled a functional prototype (Arduino, force sensors, linear actuators), then constructed structured test protocols measuring accessibility, consistency, and restocking performance across 10-trial runs recorded within a spreadsheet
• Collaborated with 3 people on the full engineering design: problem identification, prototyping, testing, and stakeholder presentation

• Arduino
• Fusion 360
• 3D Printing
• Final Slides Presentation

• Directed team meetings, practices, pre-season conditioning, and weightlifting while building team morale and boosting performance
