ASME e-Human Powered Vehicle Capstone
In my Fall 2024 semester I was the project manager for the ASME e-HPV capstone group. This project was a ton of fun, and I had such a great time implementing all of our ideas into this vehicle! Feel free to watch our capstone video and browse my page for more details into our project. Also, below is our online showcase, another great way to view the project!

My role as project manager
In my 2024 Fall semester, I was the project manager for the ASME Human Powered Vehicle capstone team. In this project, we were tasked with repairing and improving the bike as we see fit. As the project manager, I am responsible for team member mediation, organizing team meetings, and ensuring everyone is actively progressing the project. Getting to be project manager for this team was truly a blessing, and everybody was very hard to make this project a success.
What did we do to the bike?
We made various repairs to make to the bike handed to us from the previous semester. The biggest fix was rewelding the frame, this is because most of the welds on the bike were poorly done, and are unsafe. We are also completely building the bike seat, fixing the gear shifters, mounting the battery, and implementing cable management.
​
Our main innovation however, will be adding a compressed air system to the bike. This system will use an air tank to supply a .9hp air motor to drive the back wheel. We chose to move forward with this idea because of how much we all loved the concept. Although it isn't the densest and more efficient form of energy storage, it sure to turned some heads!
