SENIOR DESIGN
As a senior design team, Frontier Wheelchairs has partnered with Hope Haven International in Antigua, Guatemala, to improve wheelchair designs to serve the needs of wheelchair users.
Led by Norman Reese, the project allows students to go through the whole engineering design process, from interacting with the "customer" and developing design concepts, to getting hands-on experience building their own wheelchair.
The SAE Mini Baja Project is an international, collegiate competition that requires students design, build, and race an off-road vehicle. SAE gives specific guidelines that each team must follow in order to compete.
Competition results are based on the design, cost, and performance of each vehicle. Teams are entirely student based with the exception of a faculty advisor.
Norman Reese - Mechanical Engineering Spotlight
Norman Reese, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering Technology, talks about the essential spiritual component of his role as an instructor in pointing students to Christ, and the fulfilling work students get to be a part of such as the Frontier Wheelchairs which engineers wheelchairs for the developing world.
