Walt Disney Imagineering- Glendale, CA | Ride Mechanical Intern (May 2018-August 2018)

At Walt Disney Imagineering, I worked on the mechanical engineering team within the Ride department. As a part of the ride mechanical team, I completed a variety of projects and tasks in support of the rides in the Pixar Pier expansion. Specifically, this included design of shipping crates for structural support of ride components being shipped overseas, analysis of an exit ramp path design for maneuverability & maintenance vehicle access, and generation of engineering drawings, models and mockups of different ride components.  Outside of my work on Pixar Pier, I also collaborated on a team with the other 5 ride mechanical interns to design a human factors tool that would aid in the anthropometric considerations of future ride projects. This tool was pitched to senior leadership within the ride department who elected to invest in our concept.  Through the various projects, I gained further experience with SmarTeam, SolidWorks, 3D printing, and ride safety standards.
