Hi, I'm Madison, a sophomore at the University of Maryland College Park. I am majoring in aerospace engineering and plan to enter the astro track my junior year. I am apart of the Science and Global Change College Park Scholars program. My past project at UMD included a research project for my Aerospace Engineering 100 class. Throughout my first semester my research group and I created different honeycomb structures with varying buckling initiators using Solidworks and a 3D printer. We then tested the stress and strain of each variation of honeycomb using a hydraulic press. We compiled these results into a poster presentation and presented at a poster fair. In my Mechanics I class, my team and I design, created, and tested a truss. Our goal was for it to have the largest load to weight ratio. We compiled the project into a design report. In my Introduction to Engineering Design class, my team and I designed, constructed, and tested an over terrain vehicle. Our mission was to collect and report a duty cycle of a pylon, determine if a puck was magnetic, and safely get to an end zone by navigating past obstacles. In my Mechanics II class, my team and I designed the cross section of a beam, constructed it, and tested it. We compiled the project into a design report. In addition, I am on the aerostructures sub-team of the Terrapin Rocket Team. I am a member of the UMD American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics as well as the UMD Women in Aeronautics and Astronautics.
