Abstract
Schaeffler, our industry sponsor for this project, is designing a battery pack for a demonstration vehicle that requires a high voltage junction box to route power to the vehicle. The project type is a unique design of a mechanical component, mechanism, and process. Our objective for this project is to assemble provided electro-mechanical components into an enclosure following a provided electrical diagram. The expected deliverables are the following: 3D CAD assembly of final product, FEA analysis of designed components, 2D print of final product, fabrication and assembly of designed parts, technical report documenting design process and installation. The skills required for this project are: 3D modeling for assembly, handy with using tools and shop work, baseline understanding of electricity and electrical, safety, FEA, MS Excel, technical report writing, ability to follow design guidelines and stack-up, clearances. The timeline of this project will be the remaining Academic Year.
