Racing Simulator
As a part of Purdue's Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) program, my team was tasked with designing and building a racing simulator for Motorsports Engineering outreach events. The simulator needed to be durable, easily transportable, and adjustable to accommodate users of different sizes while still providing an engaging and realistic driving experience.
As the team leader, I guided the project from initial design through final assembly. Our team designed the simulator chassis in SolidWorks, developed the bill of materials, sourced and ordered components, and assembled the system into a fully functioning simulator. Over the course of the school year, I coordinated the team's work while helping ensure the final design met our requirements for portability, adjustability, and durability.
The chassis incorporated sliders on the seat and pedals for adjustability, was made of lightweight, durable 80-20 aluminum, and was designed so key sections could be easily disassembled for transportation. We presented the completed simulator at the 2025 Purdue Indianapolis Student Showcase.
