INTERNSHIP PROJECTS
DRAWING METRICS
Created Metrics to Organize Project and Follow the Process of Parts
My main assignment during my summer internship at Moog Aircraft Group was to support support the project engineer with two large projects she was managing.
I took on the task of designing and organizing drawing metrics for two extremely large, classified projects in order to identify what stage drawings and parts were being held up in and to hold each department accountable for it's tasks. This involved using Excel and the Macros functions to make the metrics easy to read for each department. If files or tasks were stuck with one person for too long, I took the initiative to remind them of the deadlines to keep the process going.
I also wrote multiple status reports that were to be delivered to the customer. These reports included data and drawings about the parts and assemblies that were going into the product theywould receive at the end of the project.
ENGINEERING DRAWINGS
Created and Modified Engineering Drawings
During my internship at Moog Aircraft Group, I became familiar with Unigraphics. I created and modified many 3D models and engineering drawings of individual parts and assemblies to be used on a system. This involved communicating with the supply chain and manufacturing departments in order to ensure that the changes were feasible. I also performed stress analysis and deformation tests on several of these parts using ANSYS to determine where the part will fail first at the end of its life. Furthermore, I organized and held review board meetings in order to send these drawings into the cycle to be reviewed and approved by the department heads for these projects.
NON-COMPLIANCE PARTS
Identified, Measured, and Analyzed Non-Compliance Parts
During my internship at Moog Aircraft Group, I identified several non-compliance parts. These parts had dents, scratches, or an uneven coat of anodize allowing electric current to be conducted through them. I took pictures of these parts for documentation and to send to the client with measurements and an analysis I conducted to determine whether these features would degrade the life or structural integrity of the part.
SPT TEST
Performed Tests on Units and Analyzed Reasons for Failure
During my internship at Moog Aircraft Group, I performed acceptance tests on the initial unit that had just finished going through production. However, the tests were constantly failing. After consulting with the testing department, I learned that some reasons for the failure were that the voltage applied to the transistor was not being measured accurately, there was a lot of backlash in the gears, and the unit needed to be properly lined up against the testing rig before each test by performing a set of recalibration steps. Eventually, after many tests and readjustments, the part part passed the acceptance test.
