For a class project in my undergraduate studies, I had to research plastics for use in the product we were designing. Plastics we researched included polypropylene, mylar, polyethylene, etc. I learned a great deal about different kinds of plastic and their specific properties, such as modulus of elasticity, tensile strength, melting point, and much more. During my first internship, I was tasked with designing various items such as cable clips, and air ducts. My knowledge and experience from the class project greatly came in handy during designing these items because of the potential benefits from using them.
