Hiya! My name is Eira Kimball.
I am currently a 3rd year Mechanical Engineering undergraduate student at University of California, Davis. I chose mechanical engineering because I've always been fascinated by mechanical mechanisms and how they work. My dream is to work on designing and manufacturing parts for cars.
I have experience with manual machining, as well as using programs including Solidworks and MATLAB.
Some of my projects include: designing tab boxes for suspension mounting points for my FormulaSAE Electric team's racecar, assembling/installing electrical components for my FRC team's robot, and training teammates on use of a CNC router.
I have repair experience working on my car, friend's car, and bike, as well as some diagnosis and repair on my FRC team's robot.
My experience with this project will provide an opportunity to develop my technical writing and hands-on skills.
I'm currently a team member of Formula SAE Electric Racing at UC Davis.
In my spare time, I love hiking, reading, and baking!

I have two wonderful dogs! <3
