Mechanical Engineering
Engineering
Introduction
I am Daniel Barcus Always loved to build and create Plan on attending North Georgia College &
State University
Research Paper
History of engines Vital to my project Learned information about steam, diesel, and
gasoline engines Learned information about why we use
gasoline engines over others Learned information about all the parts in a
gasoline/internal combustion engine
My project facilitator
Melanie Salas Works at Creekview High School Trained in using Autodesk software (such as
Inventor) Taught me how to use Autodesk Inventor
Product
My product is a basic model of an internal combustion engine
I chose it because I love building things
Process
The first objects I started with are the piston tops and arms
Process
The next part I designed was the crankshaft
Process
I worked on the engine casing next
Process
Next, I worked on the valves/camshafts for the left and right pistons
Took 14 hours 29 mins
Process
Valve/camshaft parts
Process
The last part I worked on was the flywheel
Process
Added the timing belt
Product
Total of 84 parts
Challenges
Trying to use expert functions in the software Wrong measurements Accommodating change in parts for other
parts
What I’ve learned
Learned a lot about Autodesk Inventor and how to use it
There are unlimited possibilities with Inventor Not to give up Problem solving Your original design is not what you will end
with
Conclusion
This is a likely career or hobby choice The engine that runs your vehicle is a very
complex and precise piece of machinery Thank you for your time
