Mechanical Engineering
We are a team of mechanical engineering students from Panama City, Florida, dedicated to a range of disciplines including marine engineering, materials engineering, data engineering, and mechanics. By integrating these fields, we strive to optimize the design and development of innovative technologies.
Through industry-focused and research-driven projects, we challenge ourselves to consult, plan, and implement creative solutions to real-world engineering problems. This hands-on experience fosters both personal and professional growth, preparing us to become forward-thinking engineers.

PRDCT – Powder Rheometric Device that Characterizes Torque
For a material to be fed through a hopper, it often needs to be agitated with a rotating apparatus so that it will move as desired. The objective of this project is to design a test apparatus that can collect data regarding the torque required to “agitate” various materials. Upon collection of data, a predictive model will be developed. By developing a predictive model, necessary agitator components can be specified using material properties so that testing does not have to occur for every material.
