Fall 2016 Contributions

During my first This semester with AguaClara, I have many goals. Being on the Design team, my first focus is to familiarize myself with MathCAD and AutoCAD. I want to be as fluent as possible with the software so that I can take on bigger projects for the remainder of my time on the team. Once I feel comfortable with the coding, I cannot wait to begin work on one of the challenges that the Design team is working on this semester. I might even have the opportunity to work with other members of the team on some of the larger and more important projects. I look forward to exploring new territory within the design lab as I plan to begin writing code for plants with lower and higher flow rates than we have yet to work with. There are many different challenges associated with this task especially with defining the limits of when flow rates warrant the addition of parts to the plant. In these situations, there is research to be done on the set up of the plant and the layouts that the code produces. I am very excited for the work ahead !and am optimistic that if we can perfect this code, it is possible for AguaClara to further expand the capacity of the plants that we build with our technology.
