EXPERIENCE
Adjunct Faculty Member
Dept. of Computer Science & Engineering, Manarat International University
Teaching undergraduate-level courses on the following topics :
- Machine Learning
- Engineering Mathematics (Differential Equations, Coordinate Geometry, Numerical Methods)
- Python Programming Lab (Introduction to Programming)
I prepare and deliver lecturers for theory and lab courses, develop course material and lesson plans, evaluate the performance of students through exams, assignments, and tests, invigilate in exams, and collaborate with other faculty members to improve course materials and teaching methods.
Team Leader
Team Interplanetar — BUET Mars Rover Team
- Managed a team of engineering students in to create a Mars rover for university level international competitions — the European Rover Challenge, and the University Rover Challenge.
- Co-ordinated among 5 sub-teams: Mechanical Design and Manufacturing, Electrical and Communication, Software and Autonomy, Scientific Analysis, and Non-Technical sub-team to create this rover and attend competitions
- Successfully negotiated with numerous external sponsors to attain funds to implement our project.
Mechanical Design and Manufacturing Sub-team Leader
Team Interplanetar — BUET Mars Rover Team
- Planed out the mechanical design process and selected appropriate manufacturing methods to create a Mars rover.
- Designed and manufactured a teleoperated Robotic arm to pick objects, open doors, flip switches, turn a screw and perform other servicing tasks
- Designed and manufactured hub-motor driven wheels and suspension system of the rover for traveling over rocky and sandy terrain
- Designed 3D models in SolidWorks and ran Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulations on different rover parts — arm, suspension, wheels, and chassis — to assess mechanical strength in response to expected loading conditions
- Managed a team of mechanical engineering students to manufacture rover parts within tight deadline.
