Matthew Ho, Ho Yik Hang

Aerospace Engineer

Hi, I'm Matthew Ho, an Aerospace Engineering student at Toronto Metropolitan University with a passion for designing, building, and improving engineering systems. Before pursuing my bachelor's degree, I graduated with honours from Centennial College's Aerospace Manufacturing Engineering Technician program, where I developed a strong foundation in aerospace manufacturing, precision machining, quality inspection, and CAD design. These experiences taught me how engineering concepts translate into real-world products while strengthening my attention to detail and problem-solving skills. At TMU, I've continued to expand my knowledge through design projects, CAD competitions, and hands-on engineering work. I enjoy tackling challenging mechanical design problems, learning new technologies, and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to turn ideas into functional solutions. I'm currently seeking a Summer 2027 Aerospace Engineering internship, where I can contribute to meaningful engineering projects while continuing to grow as an engineer. My interests include aerospace structures, manufacturing, mechanical design, and product development.

Projects

These projects recorded my learning journey as an aerospace engineering student.

Servo Motor Controlled Gripper

Servo Motor Controlled Gripper

Designing a solution for a drone to hold and release an object with handle bar

Working as part of a team, I helped design and build a servo motor controlled gripper capable of opening and closing to grasp objects. The project combined mechanical design, electronics, and programming to demonstrate automated motion control. My Contributions: Creating the original design and assembly of the gripper on CAD. Integrated servo motors with the mechanical linkage. Participated in system testing and troubleshooting. Assigning work according to teammates' capabilities and managing their progress.

CATIA

Octocopter Design & Assembly

Throughout the CAD course at Centennial College, I created a complete eight-rotor (octocopter) drone in SolidWorks. Under the instructor's guidance, I created every component individually before assembling the entire drone into a fully constrained 3D model. This project served as the culmination of everything learned throughout the semester, allowing me to apply part modeling, assembly techniques, engineering drawings, and design intent in a comprehensive mechanical design project. Outcome The project provided an excellent opportunity to consolidate the CAD skills developed throughout the semester and significantly strengthened my understanding of mechanical design principles. The experience also helped prepare me for the Certified SolidWorks Associate (CSWA) – Mechanical Design certification, which I successfully earned. Certification Certified SolidWorks Associate (CSWA) – Mechanical Design Credential ID: C-K6RUYCDJAG
