This week I was assigned a partner and designated to the team responsible for developing the cabin for the 12th scale model. After being given the objectives, I consulted with Dr. Furman regarding what aspects and features I should look for in designing the cabin. Keeping physical aspects such as aerodynamics and weight in mind, the cabin should have a somewhat futuristic look to it to accommodate the futuristic concept. Research is to be conducted between me and my partner in order to give a brief presentation on our findings and plans for the following week.

Hello! My name is Kaelan Y Song, and this post serves to provide a brief introduction about myself and why I am interested in being a part of the SPARTAN Superway project. I developed an interest in engineering sometime around my junior year in high school when introductory PLTW courses were first introduced at my school. I entered in engineering design competitions with my friends/teammates (mostly for the free food, but no one needs to know that). Since then I have combined that interest with my hobby in small arms/firearms and decided to pursue a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Upon graduation I would like to pursue a career in small arms design at a company such as Sig Sauer, Smith & Wesson, etc. The aspects of the SPARTAN Superway project that appealed to me most was the ambition behind the idea. Something of this caliber is nothing shy of grand (at least in terms of size and work), but I find it to be something definitely worth looking into and working on. Reforming ...
