More about Yaseen
Whenever I witness flight, it continues to fascinate me as it requires us to surpass Mother Nature in her own domain. The more I ponder about the mechanics and structures that facilitate flight, the stronger my desire grows to explore this field further. These thoughts sparked my interest in pursuing Aerospace Engineering. I have two main reasons for choosing this field of study. Firstly, I wish to gain a comprehensive understanding of the Aerospace Engineering industry. Pursuing this degree allows me to expand my knowledge and expertise in the field. Secondly, it contributes to my personal growth. Earning a degree in Aerospace Engineering exhibits my persistence, determination, intellectual capacity, and my ability to perform under challenging circumstances.
​
During my third year of undergraduate studies, I gained a comprehensive understanding of the operations and processes involved in analyzing and identifying flaws in a flight object (experiment) in my "Heat Transfer and Thermal Design" course. The experiment was carried out in a state-of-the-art laboratory. Using my observations and study, I computed the amount of heat produced in an alloy while vibrating the Printed Circuit Board (PCB). The objective of this vibration testing is to ensure that the PCB can withstand various loads during lift-off as the payload is exposed to an array of static and dynamic loads induced by the launch vehicle, wind and gusts, buffering in the transonic flight regime, or loading caused by the propulsion systems due to longitudinal acceleration, thrust build-up, and structure propulsion coupling. I discovered that I possess a keen eye for detail, especially concerning accuracy and presentation.
​
In my "Space Mission Design" course, my team selected Venus as our target planet, and we designed a mission from Earth to Venus. I was responsible for simulating the mission using STK software and creating the probe using Solid-Works/NX. By following engineering practices and SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Bound) goal-setting principles, I managed to save 35% of the project budget in fuel consumption. These assessments demonstrate my aptitude for technical analysis, planning, communication, independent collaboration, and adhering to strict timelines.
​
Furthermore, I engaged in a project outside the curriculum to construct a cube satellite, where my responsibility was to procure the necessary equipment and parts and assemble them on the board. Throughout the project, I maintained adherence to ISO (International Organization for Standardization) safety standards for the space industry. I learned how to analyze problems, identify suitable solutions, evaluate various options, and preempt potential issues. Therefore, my career goal is to apply engineering and scientific principles to create and design spacecraft structures and components.
Below, Yaseen will be sharing some of his work in the last several years.We will note that Yaseen's work is diverse in several areas, and this is essential in the life of anyone looking for more knowledge.
AL-TAIE
Yaseen's First project
Rainwater-Harvesting Unit
This product is a simple yet effective rainwater-harvesting unit meant to be installed on the rooftops of the houses. The rainwater collected is purified and delivered to the people right at the site of this process. It targets people of the less privileged societies where access to clean water to perform daily chores is an issue of concern.

Proposal for Carbon Flux Measurement
Objective:
The purpose of the proposal is to provide Jimmie Peatly a carbon fluxes proportion associated with each crop type by using scientific measurements. Our technicians depend on particular mechanism to obtain an accurate ratio of carbon footprint in the four areas. The time- period takes about one year to get the full data to know if these crops are carbon offset or carbon credit.

Proposal For Natural Capital Valuation
The main purpose of the proposal is to provide Julienne’s lawyer an assessment of her land depending on ecosystem and natural capital perspective. By following scientific and engineering methods, this depends on observing and collecting data.In addition,calculating the time is required to complete the study
and the financial cost for the study.
Geodetic Concepts
Project 1
This report provides an analysis and evaluation of the knowledge of theoretical and computational aspects of coordinate system transformations. It also provides insight to the computational aspects of key coordinate systems (local astronomic, apparent, celestial, orbital, and conventional terrestrial) and their transformations.
Geodetic Concepts
Project 2
This report provides an analysis and evaluation of the knowledge of various geodetic concepts, specifically focusing on the analysis of ellipsoidal geometry, the transformations between Cartesian and curvilinear coordinates, and geodetic positioning techniques. The completion of this lab will provide better appreciation and comprehension of relevant concepts for this course.

This report provides insight into conformal mapping and UTM projections, focusing on how to perform map projections in practice, and how to apply the combined scale factor in practice. Specifically, this report dives into the derivations for metric tensors and the applications of these derivations, the calculations required to determine the coordinates on a UTM plane, and the definition and applications of the combined scale factor.
Exoplanetary Project
Transmit method
Potentially useful database for determining exoplanets that you can study with the York Observatory.
Note that the predictor will give you start and end times for exoplanetary transits along with a star chart (but be careful! All times are Universal Time, not local, and you will need to use Toronto's East Longitude, not West Longitude as it is usually given). Note: targets brighter (less than) than magnitude 10 are relatively easy targets. Down to magnitude 12 are more challenging, down to magnitude 14 are very challenging and at greater magnitudes, the stars are so dim that no useful measurements can be made using the 60 cm.
To get you started, we have had successful observations of HD189733b, HD209458b, HAT-P-1b, HAT-P-6b, HAT-P-7b, TrES-1b, TrES-2b, WASP-1b and WASP-2b in the past and more systems are being discovered every day. You don't have to stick with any one planet, but can use whichever is up in the sky on the night you wish to observe.
Vibration Lab
This lab introduces you to the vibration testing and analysis used to qualify a structure for launch. Specifically the objectives of this lab are to ==>
Analyze a PCB assembly using NX to determine its normal modes (frequencies and mode shapes)
Based on the analysis, select a location for a monitoring accelerometer to be placed on the board for the X, Y and Z axis vibration tests.
Determine the stresses in the board and the loads in the fasteners used to hold down the board. Based on these results determine the Margin of Safety for the design.
Perform a vibration test on the PCB and from the test outputs determine if the analysis adequately predicts its vibration characteristics (and hence supports your stress predictions and Margins of Safety).
THE VENUTIAN ATMOSPHERE
Antenna (AZ/ EL) Position control system
Space Mechanism
The main objective of the Antenna Pointing Mechanism (APM) is to provide a stable pointing of a reflector or an antenna using a two-axis (azimuth and elevation) steerable mechanism. The APM is designed to be resistant towards bending and other external movements resulting from vibration, etc. Using its rough breadboard of 2 degrees of freedom, the APM provides the ability to point the antenna over elevational angles exceeding 180°, making it useful for land based vehicles, ships, and particularly satellite communication. There are five main requirements to consider when designing an APM: Design requirements, Pointing requirements, RF requirements, Thermal requirements and Lubrication requirements. When designing an APM, there must be requirements that state what the mechanism will achieve when operating. An example of an important design requirement is that the APM must be capable of rotating the antenna towards a receiving satellite. As for the pointing requirement, pointing errors will be minimized thus relaxing the requirements for satellite’s altitude control system. In terms of RF requirements, the APM is expected to transmit continuous waves of a specified signals in order to provide a constant communication link between transmitter and receiver. The APM has temperature limits that it should remain within in order to accomplish required operations. Finally, moving parts of the APM must be lubricated to lengthen the lifetime of its operation.
Tracking Unit Final Demonstration and Report.

The objectives of the activities are as follows ==>
To provide students with the opportunity to field test and debug their spacecraft tracking software
To provide a real-world application of theory and programming skills developed throughout the course.
Antimatter Containment Unit
In 1928, physicist Paul Dirac published a paper that turned the world of physics as we had known it on it’s head. Dirac had proposed an alternate version of the famous Schrödinger wave equation that hinted at the existence of a new type of fundamental particle; one that mirrored the electron, but with a positive charge. This discovery opened the physics world up to the concept of antimatter. For all intents and purposes, this new antimatter mimics regular matter very closely; however, the charge of the component subatomic particles is reversed. Perhaps more interestingly though, is the vehement interaction between matter and antimatter, which causes the mutual annihilation of both parties.
