About Me
This is the page for B Fitz. I am an engineering student at Duke taking EGR103 and I am writing this for the homework 1 assignment. I was told by a fellow student Madison Jaffrey to make my page more spoofy so I've added some more stuff to this page.
Name Pronounciation
My name is Bryce Fitzpatrick, "br-ice Fits-pat-rick." I don't really have nicknames, though I did earn the name "Brick" for my exceptional basketball talent, and I was called B Fitz when I played baseball (not to be confused with J Fitz, my twin brother).
Projects
4x4 in Schools Technology Challenge: I was the mechanical engineer for the 4x4 in Schools Engineering Challenge at my high school. In this role, I designed and manufactured all of the components in the image below using 5-axis CNC milling and 3D printing.
CNC mill design and manufacture: I designed and built several iterations of a personal CNC router for home use. I have used the routers to make custom ping pong paddles, signage, and other woodworking/art projects. The image below is the most recent iteration:
Assistive Spoon (EGR101): In my first year design course at Duke University, I designed an assistive spoon for teens with arthrogryposis along with Girlboss Madison Jaffrey.
Grand Challenge Article
Solar energy has the potential to be a major power source for the world that is sustainable and renewable. However, Solar faces challenges of cost and efficiency. This is one of the 14 Grand Challenges in Engineering
