Every year, like clockwork, the part would break.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Burleson, a senior mechanical engineering major, is a member of the drumline for the Pride of the Southland Marching Band. She spends every Saturday marching on the field during Tennessee football games, not to mention the countless hours spent each week in practice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A bass drum can weigh up to 40 pounds and the whale tail connector helps support the drummer\u2019s back and takes pressure off the shoulders. Burleson and her fellow drum members had connectors made from plastic and the wear and tear would cause them to snap or splinter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s hard to find replacements and they\u2019re pretty expensive. Then, they\u2019re just going to break again. They barely make it through a season,\u201d Burleson said. \u201cSome of us ended up not having one to use or we would try to tape them together just to get through a few weeks.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Burleson decided to take matters into her own hands. She went to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/innovate.utk.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Min H. &amp; Yu Fan Kao Innovation &amp; Collaboration Studio<\/a>\u00a0during the summer to ask about making the parts out of metal. She was introduced to Aidan Schmitz, junior mechanical engineering and the lead consultant at the metal shop.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/tickle.utk.edu\/mae\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/07\/metal-piece.jpg\" alt=\"whale tail connector for a marching band drum\" class=\"wp-image-963\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tickle.utk.edu\/mae\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/07\/metal-piece.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tickle.utk.edu\/mae\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/07\/metal-piece-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Burleson and Schmitz devised a plan to make the parts in the Kao ICS and started the project in the fall once everyone returned to school.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Schmitz served as a project manager of sorts. Assistant Professor of Practice Jeff Foote asked him to investigate the plastic part and figure out the best method to make one out of metal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe water jet was the most obvious choice, because it\u2019s a two-axis cutter. Every one of the whale tails is a half inch thick. That\u2019s a pretty easy thing to do,\u201d Schmitz said. \u201cWe&nbsp;already have that sketch drawn up in Fusion, which you can upload to the waterjet as a DXF.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"width:100%\"><div style=\"width: 15%;height: 10px;margin: 40px 0 px;border-bottom: 6px solid #ff8200\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creative Problem Solving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Schmitz and Burleson made 30 of the metal parts, which was \u201cone of the first few times we\u2019ve had something that we\u2019ve made that many of,\u201d according to Schmitz. Burleson has been wearing one on her carrier since the final product was produced.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s been great. It feels the same and works the same,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m planning to replace everyone\u2019s on the drum line, even the ones that have plastic ones that aren\u2019t broken. I want to make sure they don\u2019t break in the future.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Burleson kept Michael Stewart, the associate director of bands and WJ Julian Endowed Director of the Pride of the Southland Marching Band, updated throughout the entire engineering process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEveryone\u2019s been super excited and very supportive about it,\u201d Burleson said. \u201cAny way we can improve the band and make us more comfortable once we\u2019re playing and going out on these long game days is usually a good thing.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/tickle.utk.edu\/mae\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/07\/pride-of-the-southland.jpg\" alt=\"Anukkah Burleson and another student work on a metal part for the bass drum at the ICS.\" class=\"wp-image-964\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tickle.utk.edu\/mae\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/07\/pride-of-the-southland.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tickle.utk.edu\/mae\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/07\/pride-of-the-southland-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Foote was pleased to see a group of students receive hands-on lessons in creative problem solving and hardware production with practical implications.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnukkah identified an issue with the band hardware and worked alongside Aidan to specify a solution, then they worked together to take that solution from theory to reality,\u201d Foote said. \u201cThis precisely demonstrates what the KICS is all about and shows what students can do when provided the tools and training to solve their own problems.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"width:100%\"><div style=\"width: 15%;height: 10px;margin: 40px 0 px;border-bottom: 6px solid #ff8200\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Positive Developments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given the success of the project, Burleson has considered making parts for other band members beyond UT.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI do know this is a reoccurring problem for a lot of drum lines,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019ve got a friend on drumline who works for a high school drumline, and he asked me if they could get some of these because they have this issue too. It\u2019s definitely something in the back of my head that I wouldn\u2019t mind pursuing.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Burleson gained valuable skills throughout the part-making experience that she never considered before embarking on the project.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI learned about the management side of making projects happen,\u201d she said. \u201cI was coordinating communication between the ICS and getting permission from my band directors and making sure they were comfortable with me doing this and writing grant proposals to get the funding to do this. That is something I\u2019ve never done before.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Burleson will be graduating in December and is considering returning to UT for graduate school. After four years in the marching band, she\u2019s glad one of her last projects involved music and ingenuity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI felt like I got to combine two of my passions\u00beengineering and the drums,\u201d she said. \u201cThis project allowed me to finally find something to put them together.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"width:100%\"><div
