RYAN C. MARK PORTFOLIO
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING STUDENT
UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING CO-OP AT KIDD OPERATIONS (2020-2021)
ROBOTICS FOR SPACE EXPLORATION MECHANICAL LEAD (2019-2021)
Hello! My name is Ryan and I am a fourth year mechanical engineering student at the University of Toronto.
This site serves as a portfolio of several projects that I have been involved with as an engineering student. This portfolio details the process in these projects from design to construction, as well as pertinent skills I've gained such as teamwork, and the use of CAD and FEA software. I had the opportunity to gain industry experience at my time as a Mechanical Engineer Intern at Kidd Operations in Timmins, Ontario. Additionally, two major clubs that I've gained important skills from include the University of Toronto Robotics for Space Exploration Rover Club, and the University of Toronto Robotics Association Sumo Club.
I am planning my career path in a role as a Design Engineer, and/or Industrial R&D. I’ve chosen this direction because I know I am interested in the application and theoretical aspects of engineering. I would love to be involved in pushing the edge of technology based on new scientific discoveries, or improving designs to create more efficient solutions. I am specifically interested in a career in robotics or space exploration.
Below you can click on examples of projects that I've been involved in, and the work that I've contributed. I believe the skills learned through these projects will be helpful towards the current career path I am interested in.
Internship Experience
During my internship at Kidd Operations (Glencore Canada), I had the opportunity to design mechanical and structural components at the world's deepest base-metal mine below sea level.
Other
This section details smaller projects and other extracurricular activities in which I've been able to facilitate engineering, teamwork and leadership skills.
Mars Rover
The University of Toronto Robotics for Space Exploration Rover Club builds mars rovers to compete in international competitions. Some of our notable achievements include 11th in the 2018 University Rover Challenge, and 3rd in the 2018 European Rover Challenge.
Sumo Robot
As a member of a three-person team, I constructed a sumo robot that became the 2018 University of Toronto's Robotics Association Sumo Club's Champion.
