Glass Slurry Reservoir Overview
Glass Slurry Reservoir Overview
As part of a three-person team, we collaborated with Collins Aerospace to minimize waste in the glass slurry spraying system. The existing reservoir design resulted in material waste due to the outlet’s placement. Our objective was to redesign, prototype, and test a more efficient reservoir that would significantly reduce waste. Additionally, we manufactured a new lid insert and a stand to enhance system functionality. In the end, we delivered a fully functional prototype, a detailed bill of materials, and a cost-benefit analysis to support Collins Aerospace in implementing the improved reservoir design.

What I Learned From the Senior Design Project
What I Learned From the Senior Design Project
Applied Engineering Thinking - Developed these skills by analyzing real-world inefficiencies in the system and designing practical solutions that balance manufacturability, performance, and cost-effectiveness. This experience taught me how to approach problems with an industry-oriented mindset.
Project Management - I gained valuable project management insight by coordinating design, prototyping, and testing phases while adhering to a strict schedule to ensure that the project would be completed in the timeframe. This enhanced my ability to plan effectively and allocate resources efficiently.
Collaboration and Teamwork - I was able to work closely with my team and the sponsors at Collins Aerospace to develop a viable solution, integrating feedback along the way. This enhanced my ability to communicate effectively and work towards a shared goal.
