About

Daniel Morales

I am a mechanical engineering student at the University of Texas at El Paso with a minor in biomedical engineering and a 3.62 GPA. My project work combines CAD modeling, robotics, programming, rapid prototyping, and engineering computation.

My resume includes robot component design in Fusion 360, drone calibration and 3D-printed parts, a solar-powered greenhouse irrigation project, a Java RPG, and a Python stress-strain plotting program.

Background

My Journey

I started getting into engineering at the beginning of high school, with my first project being an old robotics competition in fall of 2021. I was really inspired by my peers, and with the amount of interest I showed on how my ideas can be brought to life they encouraged me to grow more into the field. Everything I've done so far has been driven by my goal of becoming the best version of myself. I've played the cello for most of my life, competed in swimming, and worked on building robots and drones, all of which have taught me discipline, teamwork, and problem-solving. Recently, I've gotten into rock climbing, and few things are as rewarding as finishing a challenging route. As I move into the next chapter of my life, I'm hoping to further develop my leadership skills and continue holding myself to high standards
