Look at the handout that we have (EX12-18 Millimeters)
We have 6 parts: 1) Web Plate, 2) Drive link, 3) Center Link, 4) Rocker link, 5) a 10mm-diameter shaft (10mm long), 6) a 10mm-diameter shaft (15mm long)
I. Create all parts using solidworks
II. Assemble all of them as shown in the handout,
III. Make an animation: Drive link should be motorized and rotate clockwise.
IV. Upload the animation to youtube and post a link to this post.
How was the toy car animation practice we did as EX05? Do you have a question? Did you enjoy it?
A message from Prof. Hamid Norouzi, Director of Undergraduate Research.
There are a few spots still available for the 2018-2019 CRSP program. Students in bachelor’s programs with fewer than 50 credits can apply. CUNY limits faculty to mentoring a maximum of 3 CRSP students.
Dear Colleagues,
Please consider serving as a mentor in the CUNY Research Scholars Program (CRSP). You may be approached by students interested in conducting research or reach out to promising students yourself in order to advance your scholarly endeavors.
The CUNY Research Scholars Program (CRSP) is a year-long program which provides full-time students enrolled in associate degree programs with funded opportunities for laboratory conduct research with a faculty mentor. There is funding support for CRSP faculty mentors ($1,200 per student) for summer salary, research equipment/supplies, or travel. In addition to participation in research, the program includes mandatory workshops on lab safety, responsible conduct in research, and other research-related skills. Students must also complete training through the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI); submit an abstract, prepare a poster and participate in the poster sessions towards the end of the fall and spring semester; as well as participate in the CUNY-wide summer symposium at the conclusion of the program.
Participating students commit to one full academic year plus the summer program, ~400 hours of research/independent study. The following is the program’s hourly commitment for students
|
Fall semester: |
60 hours or ~ 6 hours/week |
$1000 |
|
|
Winter/spring semester: |
60 hours or ~ 6 hours/week |
$1000 |
|
|
Summer: |
280 hours – 35 hours/weeks – 8 wks |
$3000 |
Eligibility: Full-time associate degree students at any stage in their academic career can participate or baccalaureate students in 2+2 programs who have earned less than 50 credits. It is understood that some students will transfer to baccalaureate programs – this may result in students no longer being eligible to participate in the program. In order to maintain eligibility students must be full-time, and engage in laboratory experiences in the Science, Technology, Engineering or Math (STEM) disciplines. This includes computer laboratory experiences. At this time nursing is not considered a STEM discipline.
The Application
Part I can be found at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CRSPCityTech
Part II of the application is attached and include: (1) PREA (Pre-Research Experience Application), (2) CUNYfirst Expense Reimbursement form, (3) W-9.
(1) PREA – Must be completed electronically and signed by both the student and faculty mentor.
(2) CUNYfirst Expense Reimbursement form – Students should clearly write their name, CUNYfirst ID, address, telephone number, City Tech email address and sign the form.
(3) W-9 – Students should complete parts I and II and sign in part III- DO NOT INCLUDE THE SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER ON THE W9 FORM.
(4) An unofficial copy of the student’s transcript, including fall 2018 registration.
Deadline: Friday, September 21st, 2018. Selected Students will be notified by September 25th.
Program Requirements
Please ensure that these materials are submitted by Friday, September 21st, 2018 deadline. Please see attached Part II of application for more details and guideline. If multiple students are involved on a single project, then their expected individual contributions should be distinguished on each of the Pre-Research Applications.
For any questions regarding the application and the program please contact undergraduateresearch@citytech.cuny.edu or visit http://www.citytech.cuny.edu/research/.
Thank you for willingness to be a research mentor and considering this opportunity for our students.

Who is in the classroom? Did you enjoy the online class last week?
EX Day03,
We want to make an engineering animation shown in the following video.
1) How many Degrees of Freedom this robot arm has?
2) In the first place, what is Degree of Freedom (DOF)? Check a definition of DOF and explain it using your own words.
3) We want to have a 3D model of this arm. Download a following zip file and unzip it. Make sure that all files can be opened. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_U_Mw-OHOLNcEhIUkZwOVhmWTQ/view?usp=sharing
Submit your answers of questions 1)&2) to mnakamura@citytech.cuny.edu by the end of today’s class (4pm).
Next week we will assemble all parts and make the first animation.
Hello class, This is Dr. Nakamura! Who is online now? Please reply this post.
Dear Class,
The day02, Monday 9/17 from 2pm will be online. I’ll post a lecture material here on openlab. You don’t have to come to the classroom but you have to be online (please be accessible to openlab and email) from 2pm. I’ll take online attendance. You can take online lecture in the classroom or at home (wherever you can access the internet).
Please visit openlab on Monday 9/17 at 2pm.
Professor Nakamura
3 types of 3D animation methods.
Could you find 3 types of animations (Free motion, Kinematic, Dynamic) in the internet?
The OpenLab is an open-source, digital platform designed to support teaching and learning at City Tech (New York City College of Technology), and to promote student and faculty engagement in the intellectual and social life of the college community.
