"When the project started, I'm not sure if there was an estimated project completion," Rivera said. "But, after months of seeing the easel unfinished in the machine shop, it was my responsibility as vice president of the organization to get people together to honor our commitment to Matt."
Once Rivera took charge of the project, the team planned for the completion and presentation of the easel to Addison by spring break. However Rivera said several parts had to be remade and redesigned pushing the date back.
"This project put things in perspective," Ananthu said. "We have a lot of design projects and it's a major accomplishment to help other people out. It's a good indication we can have more projects like this in the future."
According to Rivera, ASME works on about seven to eight different projects at a time and is funded by Associated Student Government (ASG) and corporate sponsors.
Currently, the group is working with the Disability Accessibility Initiative group to come up with ways to increase accessibility on campus. The group's findings may be implemented by working with professional firms.
ASME also is creating a thermonuclear reactor in hopes of using the product to de-radiate the isotopes used in various cancer treatments.
"The thermonuclear reactor project was started because we wanted to do something that has never been done before at Miami," Rivera said. "While this idea has been researched by others, our project has a business initiative as well."
