Hello, my name is Ian and I am part of this program called Edge.  In Edge you work on an independent project, and so my topic of choice is Engineering / Automotive Mechanics.

What I have done so far is I have been working with a Tecumseh lawnmower engine and currently a Honda Recon 250cc.  What I have done for the Tecumseh is I have taken it apart, inspected all the parts, and learned how it works.  For the ATV, I have taken the carburetor out, cleaned it, and will be re-installing it into the ATV (and hopefully have it running).  Also in this school year, I have participated in gutting out and repurposing a Mobile Command Center.  Our school owns a retired police vehicle/RV, which we are going to fix up and make into a mobile classroom.

I am also waiting for a boat engine from Twin Lakes in CT, which I will hopefully be picking up soon.  And I am also talking to one of the faculty who has a car on-campus that is not working.  We  will hopefully work with this faculty member and restore this car.

I've been doing a lot of research on all types of automotive and engineering topics.  I am really obsessed with motorcycles, and I am hoping to come up with a relationship or possibly an internship.  If anyone has any automotive equipment (especially a motorcycle), please get in-touch with me via the Comments box below this post.

Have a nice day!
