Climate Adaptable Multifunctional Bridge-barrier
I worked alongside colleagues from the Civil and Environmental Engineering, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Architecture departments to begin what will be a two-year project to design and develop a Climate Adaptable Multifunctional Bridge-Barrier, a structure that can serve as both a bridge and flood barrier. I focused my work on learning how to create 3D models and renderings of these structures. My greatest contribution to the group was creating and updating these models each week, as we learned new information from finite element analysis and generated new ideas at our meetings. Gaining experience with 3D modeling is something I am very glad to have done, as I can now communicate the thoughts in my head to teams and audiences in a simple, visual way. Going forward, I hope to continue working on this project during my junior and senior years and I am considering pursuing an independent research project to build off of this experience.
