Joel Wijesinghe

I am currently undertaking my Bachelor of Automotive Engineering at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology,, and together I have developed skills in customer services and community management. Now I am looking forward to developing my career in the field of Automotive Engineering. I believe I could gain experience through internships or co-op programs with automotive related workplaces and eager to contribute technical skills and a hands-on approach to projects in a dynamic engineering environment

• 2017 to 2021 - OneHope Organization Volunteer Staff: Contributed to the planning and execution of events, fundraisers, or community outreach activities.
• 2019 - Sri Lanka Unites Volunteering Team: Participated in team meetings to discuss progress, plan activities, and to address any challenges.

• 2024 - Six Bar Linkage Mechanism Analysis - Conducted an in-depth synthesis and dynamic analysis of a six-bar linkage mechanism to optimize multi-link systems, aiming to reduce excessive vibration and enhance machinery lifespan in workplace settings. Higher Distinction
• 2024 - Vehicle NVH Data Analysis with Machine Learning: Built a model using KNN and SVM to classify vehicle noise from engine bay, exhaust, and cabin recordings at various RPMs. Collected and processed data, trained the model, and tested its accuracy, with results presented in a report and live demo. Higher Distinction
• 2024 - Finite Element Analysis: ANSYS Project 01 - Designed and optimized brake and accelerator pedals for a race vehicle using ANSYS Workbench. Conducted finite element analysis (FEA) to ensure compliance with performance and safety standards, focusing on load cases, material selection, and geometry refinement. Distinction
• 2024 - Finite Element Analysis: ANSYS Project 02 - Designed and analyzed a shaft rocker and suspension wishbone for a vehicle using ANSYS Workbench. Conducted finite element analysis to optimize strength, stiffness, and fatigue performance, meeting all safety and performance targets. Enhanced skills in CAE, structural analysis, and automotive component design. Distinction
• 2022 - Aircraft Wingbox Design Project - The wingbox design involved the integration of various engineering principles, such as structural mechanics, materials science, aerodynamics, and control systems. Was able to apply the knowledge from different disciplines to make the project successful. Distinction
• 2022 - Applied Thermodynamics Project, Designed and Built an Ideal Organic Rankine Cycle for a Geothermal Plant with the use of R134a refrigerant as the working fluid in Rankine cycle heating systems, which use a boiler or heat exchanger, condenser, pump, and turbine to produce power. High Distinction
• 2023 - Warman Design and Build Competition - Designed and built a robot with mechanical arms, programmed with Arduino to execute a demonstration. Demonstration included moving the robot from one countertop to another delivering the balls the silos. Higher Distinction
• 2023 - Research on selecting the most suitable material for the Turbine Blade of a Turbojet Engine, The research involved choosing a material that can withstand high temperatures, exhibit strong mechanical properties, resist corrosion, and provide overall reliability. Distinction
• 2024 - Six Bar Linkage Mechanism Analysis - Conducted an in-depth synthesis and dynamic analysis of a six-bar linkage mechanism to optimize multi-link systems, aiming to reduce excessive vibration and enhance machinery lifespan in workplace settings. Higher Distinction
