Amani Juma

I am an Mechanical Engineering Graduate with a specialization in aerodynamics and a passion for learning. I have been an active member of the EcoCar University Club where we design and race against other university across north america with a hydrogen powered vehicle. Through this I have learned several manufacturing skills such are CNC routing, and Laser cutting as well as a multitude of design and analysis skills such as Solidworks and Ansys. I have also worked on a few unique projects such as a Dyson bladeless fan and an first person flying ornithopter/ mechanical bird. These project have polished the skills I acquired during my university degree such as Designing for Assembly (DFA) or Designing for Manufacture (DFM), fluid dynamics and creating electrical circuits. For my Capstone project, my team and I had the opportunity to design a Hybrid Rocket Engine for the Starr Rocketry Club at the University of Alberta that will be used in a future Launch Canada competition. Through this experience, I further refined my CAD design skills, and gained insight in to the field of project management.

• Bladeless "Dyson" Fan, A fan that uses negative pressure and and a concealed fan to generate airflow. I created the circuitry, used Solid Works to design the fan using DFM principles, and Ansys to analyze the airflow
• FPV Ornithopter, A flying mechanical bird that has a live camera attachment that allows the user to view the environment in the first person perspective. Solid Works was used to design the Ornithopter

• National Crosstalk Day Camp, 07/01/17, I volunteered to supervise and host activities for the children attending
• GEF Seniors Housing - McQueen Place Lodge, 07/01/19, I volunteered to deliver Christmas presents to the seniors
• Grand Master K. H. Min Taekwondo Dojang, 2016 - 2024, I am a 4th degree black belt and volunteer to teach children self defense and taekwondo martial arts
• APEGA Science Night - St. Vincent Catholic Elementary School, 8/11/ 2023, I volunteered to teach elementary children about hydrogen powered cars, basic circuitry
