Created, developed and executed prospective designs before modeling them in Solidworks and 3D printing prototypes for testing and analysis. All presented designs were approved by the company for future development.
Worked with group members to design and develop the housing of a cancer therapy probe to freeze malignant tumors
Shadowed a certified prosthetist and observed how prostheses were customized to meet patient's individual needs.
Learned medical engineering techniques and riveted an old prosthetic device.
Learned the concepts of using carbon fiber in prosthetic devices.
Observed the benefits and drawbacks in current prosthetic devices from interaction with patients.
Through educational and personal projects I have grown familiar with CAD programs such as Solidworks and Creo, as well as coding languages such as Python and MATLAB. I am also very familiar with Microsoft office.
Through my time in Baja, I gained a lot of experience machining on lathes, mills, TIG/MIG welding, and other machining tools
I also learned several rapid prototyping techniques through the use of 3D printers and laser cutters.
Jalen Nesbit
Mechanical Engineer
My education at Hopkins helped prepare me for a career in engineering. The many hands on projects were a great way of getting used to working on a team to accomplish a goal, with my capstone project being on the way to publication and helping more people in the real world. While there, I was part of Blue Jay Racing, the Hopkins Baja team as well as the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE).
