Marco Jonsson Introduction

 

 Introduction:

 Hi everyone, my name is Marco Jonsson and I am a Senior in my final semester at Trinity. I am a Physics and Computer Science double major, and have a minor in Mathematics and Music. I am from Sugar Land, southwest of Houston, and plan to return to Houston in the Fall for my career.

 

Interests:

I grew up in a very musical family, and as a result, have played violin for over 15 years. I play in the TSO as the concertmaster, but also perform smaller gigs both for the university and outside. I love working with my hands, and despite being a very heavily theory oriented major like Physics, a significant portion of my research has been a large-scale engineering project. Pictures to come :) I currently also play on the Ultimate Frisbee Team, Trinity Turbulence!
 
Expectations:

I am taking this class to get more experience running the 3-D printers and CNC machines, since I'd like to own one for personal projects in the years to come. I am hoping to maybe build a chess set this semester, and also am hoping to work on a project for another of my classes, Speaking Physics, to build a large scale demonstration of a pseudo-stable mechanical equilibrium point on a hyperbolic paraboloid called a saddle point (sorry for jargon). Picture below

    I've seen your past projects come to life and well, they're pretty wild! I'm excited to see how your potato chip comes out!

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 ...
