Luke WhitcombLuke

Luke Whitcomb is an honors student at Kennesaw State University pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. He took part in the first-year scholars program at KSU and was involved in the project Testing and Simulation of Effects of Raster Angle and Infill Density of Specimens Created Using Additive Manufacturing with Dr. Aaron Adams. He plans to continue doing research throughout all four years to gain valuable experience in engineering-focused projects.

 

 

 

Preston CoutinhoPreston

Preston Coutinho is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Mechatronics Engineering and he is currently a freshman. He was part of the first-year scholars group under the office of undergraduate research. Preston's hobbies include making and flying remote controlled planes, making and testing remote controlled cars with powerful electronics, motorsports engineering, and 3d printing. His future goal is to be able to work with electric vehicles in the future since he is an electric vehicle enthusiast.

 

Keily Zendejas Benavides Keily

Keily Zendejas Benavides is a student at Kennesaw State University, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Engineering Design Graphics. She participated in the undergraduate research project: Testing and Simulation of Effects of Raster Angle and Infill Density of Specimens Created Using Additive Manufacturing.  This research is centered around additive manufacturing, specifically Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), where Keily and her team investigated the material properties of 3D-printed polylactide (PLA) specimens. Their work focuses on how parameters such infill density affects the mechanical properties of FDM-printed parts, particularly under tensile tests. With an interest in understanding the behavior of 3D printing materials, she hopes to make advancements in manufacturing processes and engineering design. Her ultimate goal is to become a design engineer, where she can continue to bring innovative solutions to life and explore the intersection of technology and its creativity in engineering.
