-Developed a system that can restrict the opening of the door by activating a damper, when it senses a signal that an object is moving in the danger zone of the vehicle, as part of Project Management.
- Performed design and failure analysis, and was involved in concept development.

Objectives:
 To conduct a 6 sigma analysis of and design a mechanism to automatically engage and disengage a hydraulic hybrid system during acceleration and braking
 To create a 3D model of the designed system in ProE, design hydraulic actuation system

 To suggest test methods for its validation
