Courses 

As my final project in my Fundamentals of Computer Aided Design course, I chose to design a roller coaster's wheel bogie assembly. The two programs taught in the course were Creo and AutoCAD. I used Creo to design the 3D model and then used AutoCAD to create drawings for the completed assembly as well as each individual part. My goal for my design was to create a bogie that would allow for a smooth ride and easy maintenance. I also was told to come up with an loose estimate on cost for my design. My hope was that ease of long term maintenance would make up for higher initial cost via more time in operation rather than ride closure.
