During my B.Sc. studies, I had the privilege of joining a dynamic, multidisciplinary team at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, comprising engineering students, technicians, and faculty from the Mechanical, Electrical, Computer, and Industrial Engineering departments. Our ambitious goal was to design, fabricate, and test an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV).
As the lead designer for the main body, I was responsible for mechanical force and strain analysis, as well as the assembly of parts. After two years of dedicated work, our team achieved remarkable success. We won the first national prize for design and the second national prize for fabrication and testing at the Iranian First National Collegiate Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Competition, securing a total award of IRR 60,000,000 (~$3,300), funded by the Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology in 2013.
The highlight? Our hand-launched UAV successfully took flight on its first attempt, flight over Lake Urmia, and accomplished the designated imaging missions —a testament to our rigorous engineering and teamwork.
