Engineering: Plastic Arborloo Bases
This project was my capstone design project. The purpose was to design two plastic arborloo bases (pit latrines) for Haiti.
I was the Team Leader for the project, and was responsible for: assigning tasks, running meetings, and the main structural analysis for the project. Presented here is the technical paper for the project which I wrote.
The final products from this project were presented at the 2014 EPA P3: People, Prosperity and the Planet Student Design Competition for Sustainability, and the 2014 RIT Imagination and Creativity Festival.
