About Me

This is the page for B Fitz. I am an engineering student at Duke taking EGR103 and I am writing this for the homework 1 assignment. I was told by a fellow student Madison Jaffrey to make my page more spoofy so I've added some more stuff to this page.

Name Pronounciation

My name is Bryce Fitzpatrick, "br-ice Fits-pat-rick." I don't really have nicknames, though I did earn the name "Brick" for my exceptional basketball talent, and I was called B Fitz when I played baseball (not to be confused with J Fitz, my twin brother).

Projects

4x4 in Schools Technology Challenge: I was the mechanical engineer for the 4x4 in Schools Engineering Challenge at my high school. In this role, I designed and manufactured all of the components in the image below using 5-axis CNC milling and 3D printing. 4x4 IS 2019.jpg

CNC mill design and manufacture: I designed and built several iterations of a personal CNC router for home use. I have used the routers to make custom ping pong paddles, signage, and other woodworking/art projects.
