Designed a conceptual gas-sensing drone as part of my Intro to Engineering course. The team project focused on integrating environmental sensors with a microcontroller to simulate hazard detection and data collection in real-world hazardous conditions. 

Digital breadboard built using Tinkercad

• Two gas sensors one in the housing of the drone and another that was able to be lowered to the ground to test the air where first responders would be active.

• Buzzer and lights that sound and flash when gases are detected.

• Ultrasonic sensors for autonomous object detection and avoidance.

• Remote controlled.

• Two motors, one was used to lower the deployable gas sensor, and the other one was used to show the RPMs of the blades.

This project gave me hands-on experience with electronics, sensor integration, teamwork, and coding. It strengthened my understanding of how hardware and software interact in complex systems while reinforcing problem-solving and design skills. 

Here is the first part I got to design in CAD.
