CHRISTOPHER LOUIE
This site highlights my passion for engineering and design and showcases the work that I have accomplished in school and on my own time.
ABOUT ME
Christopher Louie is a Mechanical Engineering student studying at the University of Waterloo. He is passionate about engineering and design. See samples below of his work as well as some of his wacky ideas. Christopher enjoys playing sports like volleyball and going for bike rides to clear his mind. You will also find him playing foosball or jamming at a keyboard or saxophone learning the latest pop songs. To end off his day, Christopher looks forward to reading up on the latest technologies on the Internet and in magazines ... a place where he would one day like to see his own inventions published.
"My Wacky Ideas Section"
My inspirations for wanting to become an engineer ... I have been fortunate to be able to explore the world and see and feel things which I could not experience from books or websites alone.
Deutsches Museum - the world's largest museum of science and technology. I was intrigued in the design and craftsmanship of heavy machinery that was built 100 years ago.
The National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution. I was fascinated seeing the evolution of airplanes and bicycles.
Uhrenmuseum Beyer Zürich - a museum dedicated to the horology. I learned the history of how mechanical timepieces were created and was intrigued how mechanical movement could be so precise.
San Francisco Cable Car Museum. I was intrigued seeing the huge engines, brake mechanisms, grips, and winding wheels that were used to pull the cable cars.
Shanghaï Maglev train. I was fascinated being on the fastest train that used magnetic technology.
Whistler's Peak 2 Peak Gondola. I was amazed at the mechanical gears and rollers and the smooth ride it provided.
