==Abstract==
# The quick fastener is what secures the plastic body panels to the frame of the snowmobile. They work by inserting them into the prefabed holes in the plastic, turn it 90 degrees clockwise and the spring pushes back and locks it into place. This device qualifies as an OSAT Project because it was a request made by someone who needed snowmobile parts. This device is a fraction of what it would normally cost if bought from a dealer/shop. If you own a Yamaha 4-stroke snowmobile, you know the need for these quick fasteners.

Bio

I am an undergraduate who is studying mechanical engineering with a minor in materials engineering. I plan on eventually earning my masters in mechanical engineering and hopefully going into the aerospace industry. Space has always fascinated me as a child and one day I hope to be on the frontier of space exploration. Some of my hobbies include football, hiking, and cooking. I like being outdoors and being involved on campus in different ways. I currently play football for Michigan Technological University and I am the Vice President for Michigan Tech's NSBE Chapter. I am a dedicated individual who will always give nothing but my best work. I love to compete and will do everything in my power contribute to my team's goals at hand.

Structural Design Project (Project Management) (Community Center) (Morocco, Africa)

My team and I were assigned a structural design project to meet the needs of a community in Morocco Africa. To make sure we fully satisfied the needs of the community we conducted background research on culture, availability of materials, technology, and the expertise of the people and/or the training needed. Following this we then did a concept design, an engineering drawing with dimensions of the community center structure and describing the designs and components of the sketch. We then proceeded to implement our project management plan by putting together a plan for how we will go about the training of our village workers, how we will obtain raw materials, construction dates and timelines, and the opening of our new facility. Finally a technical report was written to present to our superiors that described the process, various progress throughout the project, and our results.
