Week 2: Introductions

This week we were assigned to our sub-project teams. I am apart of Spartan Superway's Half-Scale Suspension Team this year, along with Colin Wong and Salvador Hernandez. One of the primary goals of our project is to allow the cabin to be leveled while ascending or descending on the track. The suspension must also include dampeners to reduce vibrations and ensure a smooth ride for the passengers. The scope of our work consists of building a suspension that is not only reliable and consistent, but easy to manufacture and at a low cost. We hope that our design will be sufficient enough to carry on to the full scale model in the near future.

Week 1: About Me

My name is Joshua Moreno and I am pursuing a Mechanical Engineering degree at San Jose State University. Since I was in grade school, I've always been fond and curious about how things worked. I grew up watching my dad, a mechanic for the USPS, work on vehicles whenever I would have free time. These two influences are what inspired me to start a career in the automotive industry as a Mechanical Engineer. To this day I am proud of what I have accomplished and feel prepared to graduate in the Spring of 2018.

I'm interested in the Spartan Superway Project because I believe in promoting a sustainable future for the years to come. I also hope to make a difference in improving our society's use of transportation.
