Introducing Thor Yeary

 

Introduction

My name is Thor Yeary, I'm a senior Environmental Studies major, with a  minor in Economics. I was born and  raised right here in San Antonio, which  is what made Trinity such an easy  choice for me!







Interests

I'm passionate about environmental education and wildlife conservation, which is why I currently work at Phil Hardberger Park as a field trip educator for young students. You can often find me at the park even when I'm not working, I love going on walks and bird watching on the trails. I am also a huge gamer, I spend lots of time playing tabletop games with my friends and family. It is a personal goal of mine to one day fully develop a tabletop game myself and get it published!

Expectations

I expect to leave this course having more knowledge and confidence using hand tools and power tools. I would also like to become proficient using 3D design software. Additionally, I've began exploring 3D printing at home, so I hope to learn how to make my prints more consistent and reliable. I'm also excited to learn additional information about the process of  prototyping and modifying ongoing projects.

    That bad boy looks ready to win the TUFR derby! Maybe version II permanence will match the looks.

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...

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!

  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 ...
