Introducing Adam Edelbi

 Introduction

     - Hey!


My name is Adam Edelbi. I'm currently a freshman majoring in business, but nothing's set in stone yet. I'm originally from Canada, but I've lived here in San Antonio for most of my life. A few family friends of mine attended Trinity, and one of them is even a professor here! I've heard great things about Trinity, so I'm excited to see what the future holds.


Interests

     - Since I was pretty young, I've always had a bad habit of picking up new hobbies and then dropping them shortly after. Some of the random and useless skills I've picked up over the years include juggling, and dice stacking. 

There are, however, a few of my favorite hobbies that I've stuck with for a while. I really love video games, tv shows, and books; they're some of the things that got me interested in drawing and art. I have a friend who's really into woodworking, and he taught me a few things about how to use the various woodworking machines to build frames for my drawings!

Here are a few things I've drawn over the last couple years!



I also like pen spinning, and I even used to build and sell my own weighted pen mods online. 

This is a picture of one of the pen mods I made, called the Waterfall Mod


Additionally, I enjoy editing and creating YouTube videos, and going climbing. There's actually a really cool indoor climbing gym named Armadillo Boulders right next to Trinity. I've never been climbing outdoors on actual cliffs, but it seems fun, so hopefully I can try it out someday!


Expectations

     - In this class I expect to learn and understand the basic functions of the various tools we are going to use to bring our creations to life. I also expect to learn how to use online modeling software to plan and draw out what we hope to create. I think it would also be really cool to learn some things about mechanical engineering that will help us will help us take what we make to the next level in terms of usability and functionality.

    Your drawings look amazing! We can easily engrave them onto wood or acrylic using the laser. Dawson, our unofficial TA, has been perfecting a process to create multi color 3D prints from 2D drawings. I'm sure he'd love to show you. I haven't a clue what spinning or dice stacking is. You'll have to show me.

Process Using Fusion 360, I started creating my box based on a paint brush holder that I found online. I decided to use simple dimensions for my box so I wouldn't take too long in Fusion. Creating the box was pretty easy, but then I needed to add the holes for the brushes which was the most difficult part. With some help in class, I was able to create the holes and extrude that side of the box without failure. Once my drawing was done, I was able to move over my sketches to Adobe Illustrator to print them out. I got help doing this part so it went pretty smoothly. I loosely fit all my pieces together to make sure it worked. Then I had to decide on an image to put on the side of the box. For this I kept it simple and chose some paint brushes so people know what it is for. Once I uploaded the image to Illustrator, I used the machine to etch the photo on my box. First we did a test run to make sure the photo and settings would create a good image. When I was done with this, I glued my...

Introducing Katherine Behrens

Introduction  Hello! My name is Katherine Behrens, but you can call me Kate. I am a psychology and political science double major. I am also a captain of the women's volleyball club here at Trinity! I was born and raised in Denton, Texas, but traveled frequently with my parents to San Antonio when I was younger and knew it would be a perfect fit for me. Just far enough from home but close enough to visit on long weekends. I'm looking forward to graduating in May where I hope to continue my academic studies in foreign relations and national security.  Trinity University Women's Club Volleyball Team Interests  I have been playing volleyball for at least ten years now. I have played throughout high school on both my school team and in club sports, and have been grateful to continue to play competitively in college club. I also love to travel! I have participated in two study abroad programs though Trinity. The first of which was the International Criminal Justice program wit...

  Introduction   My name is Dr. Wilson Terrell Jr., and I'm the Associate Provost - started this position in June 2022. In addition, I'm an Associate Professor of Engineering Science in the D. R. Semmes School of Science - started at Trinity in 2003. I graduated with a B.S., M.S., and PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (Fighting Illini - home of the best deep dish pizza Papa Dels). Interests I have always love "making" since getting my first Lego set. While in high school, my favorite classes were math, physics, and chemistry. My physics teacher encouraged me to attend a summer engineering program at the University of Illinois, which helped me to pursue a degree in mechanical engineering. Here at Trinity, I primarily teach upper division mechanical engineering type courses and labs, and freshmen engineering design. This is the second time I have taught this course, when it was a pilot called ENGR 2191, Special Topics ...
