About the ECE Capstone Course

The Carnegie Mellon University Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers an ECE Design Experience course (18-500) every semester.  As part of this class, students work in teams to develop interdisciplinary capstone projects over the course of a semester.  The students start from a blank slate, developing a problem statement, and iterating through the design process, to build a working project under several real-world constraints.

This site provides links to both completed and ongoing projects, where students can document their entire design process.  We will periodically feature some of the most successful and/or interesting projects.

ECE 188 Senior Capstone Projects

The Capstone Project three-course series gives Electrical and Computer Engineering students the opportunity to put their education into practice. Students, working in small teams, design, build, and present a challenging engineering design project. The design challenges, of which each team selects one to tackle, are proposed and supported by UCSB faculty research groups or by industry. Projects typically involve design and implementation of both hardware and software systems. The projects span a variety of topics in the field of electrical and computer engineering, including for example consumer electronics, embedded systems, control systems and circuits, image processing, AI / machine learning, biomedical devices, power electronics, energy generation and conversion, sensor networks, electrochemical and biological sensors, and solid-state emitters and detectors.

Every year at the end of Spring quarter, the final projects are displayed at an event with each student group participating in a project presentation and poster sessions. A panel of experts from academia and industry judges each of the teams and selects award winners.

Instructors 2023-24: dr. ilan ben-yaacov (188abc).

188A (Fall quarter) - ECE 188A primarily focuses on the initial project design and development stage. After choosing a project, each group begins researching the critical elements of their project, developing a preliminary project plan with a set of preliminary design specifications, and gives a short preliminary presentation to the class describing their projects. Students then continue to refine their plan and begin prototyping and design testing. By the end of the quarter, each group finalizes their project plan and product design specifications, demonstrates a prototype of at least one system/element of their project, and gives a 45 minute presentation detailing (1) The Project Plan, (2) Product Design Specifications, (3) Budget, (4) Prototyping and Testing, and (5) Division of Labor (individual responsibilities).

188B (Winter quarter) - In ECE 188B, the groups continue to develop their products and refine their specifications, begin PCB design (where applicable), and at the end of the quarter demonstrate a second product prototype. Each group also participates in a "Mid-Project Design Review" with their instructors and sponsors in which they provide details on all the work done to date and provide a plan for completion of their project.

188C (Spring quarter) - In ECE 188C, the final quarter of the sequence, students finalize their designs and product specifications, and then assemble and debug their products. At the end of the quarter, each group presents and demos their final product at an ECE annual event.

ECE capstone projects featured by CDME

Students find real-world engineering projects challenging and fulfilling because they contribute to a real problem. The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) funds capstone projects for senior students to get hands-on experience before graduation.

The ECE Senior Capstone Design program is a course divided into two semesters. Throughout the program, students learn about the engineering process, project management, risk analysis, customer needs, project requirements, rapid prototyping, testing and troubleshooting. The program is directed by ECE Assistant Professor Saeedeh Ziaeefard.

This past school year, two groups came to the Center for Design and Manufacturing Excellence (CDME) to experience projects related to advanced manufacturing and industrial cybersecurity. CDME works to provide undergraduate students with hands-on experience with industry projects to provide them with the skills necessary for post-graduate employment. Partnering with ECE allowed capstone students to get experience with advanced manufacturing systems before entering the workforce. The ECE and CDME collaboration not only benefits the students by boosting their skills, but also shapes them into professionals ready to contribute to the workforce by working with innovative technology.

Four senior ECE students Jeffrey Hubbard, Matt Rowane, Paxton Murra and Tony Sheng, worked on a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) project for a machine at CDME to enhance electrical and computer engineering applications integrated with manufacturing. SCADA is a computer-based system for gathering and analyzing real-time data to monitor and control equipment that deals with critical and time-sensitive materials or events. With the growing surge in automation and robotics, the ability to understand, deploy and use a SCADA will be key skills for students to learn. The SCADA environment was purchased from funds from the  Ohio Department of Higher Education’s Regionally Aligned Priorities in Delivering Skills (RAPIDS) grant  for the establishment of cybersecurity hardware platforms for autonomous vehicles and manufacturing systems.

The capstone group set out to add the Fanuc Compact Machining Center (CNC) Robo Drill at CDME to the preexisting SCADA environment. The CNC Robo Drill is a high-precision machine that can quickly work out any milling, drilling or tapping jobs, but it did not have any system to collect data on its operations. Installing a SCADA system would allow for sensors to read data from the machine to keep it running correctly.

The team worked over two semesters to create a system that would collect data from the machine’s operations and share them to the cloud for monitoring. After months of designing, the team was able to connect five sensors to the Robo Drill, two current sensors to measure input current to the machine, a temperate sensor, a conductivity sensor and a vibration sensor. The sensors connect the drill to a programmable logic controller (PLC), which is an industrial computer that has been adapted for the control of manufacturing processes, that creates a dashboard with all the data from the sensors. Researchers at CDME would then use the information to predict machine failure, monitor regular operations and conduct preventative maintenance to keep the drill operational.

The project is considered an Industry 4.0 project, which is considered the next phase in the digitization of the manufacturing sector, including the rise of data and connectivity, analytics, human-machine interaction and improvements in robotics. Learning how to use such a complex system not only advances their technical skills but also encourages a profound understanding of the strategic advantages that these systems can bring to industrial operations. The knowledge and experience gained from this Industry 4.0 project are invaluable to students as they prepare to step into a career driven by the digitization of manufacturing, where data and connectivity, analytics, and human-machine interaction are crucial.

“Learning how to navigate the team dynamic has been really insightful,” said Jeffery Hubbard, team leader for the SCADA project. “Learning to delegate tasks and making sure we stick to deadlines has been particularly important. This has been quite different than a class project, but we had the opportunity to think creatively in a way we really have not been able before.”

Another capstone project at CDME featured five ECE students who fabricated a life-size R2D2 robot assembly using primarily 3D-printed polymer-based parts and enabled it to move and make sounds using digital input from a reprogrammed video game controller. The project’s goal was to generate a functional demonstration of additively manufactured components into a recognizable embodiment to display the fabrication capabilities of the CDME Polymer Prototyping Lab.

The group, made up of Keshab Gautam, James Elliott, Luke Hudson, Isaac Lambert and Henry Liao, used CDME’s state-of-the-art polymer additive manufacturing systems to 3D print the components for the full-size model. The team used open-source design files to slice and print all the components, then assembled and painted the pieces to make it look like R2D2.

As a part of the assembly process, the group integrated custom-designed circuits with commercial-grade components to control the various motors that move the robot. Individual motors control the motion in the left and right foot assemblies, and a third motor controls the rotation of the head assembly compared to the cylindrical base. Sensors and speakers were added to enable the robot to make sounds when struck with a small impact force

The project did not come without difficulties, as the team originally looked to use a mobile-based app to control the robot’s actions and movements. After working on coding to control the movements and sounds with that app, the team realized it was not updated to run current software to communicate with the robot’s on-board circuitry modules.

After troubleshooting a few ideas, the team instead ended up creating code to connect the R2D2 to a video game controller. The controller allowed the team to command the robot’s movements, reactions, and sounds. The last step was to paint the R2D2, but instead of the classic colors, the team decided to colorize it using a scarlet and gray-based palette.

The CDME polymer additive manufacturing lab is now home to R2D2, where the center will show potential partners the program's capabilities.

Senior Capstone Projects

Capstone Overview

During the senior year, all computer engineering students are required to take the Senior Computer Systems Project courses also known as the Senior "Capstone" Project. This course helps satisfy CE Major Degree Requirements in the Senior Elective Study Plan.

The Capstone Project gives Computer Engineering students the opportunity to put their education into practice. Students, working in small teams, design and engineer innovative hardware and software systems using techniques from robotics, distributed systems, circuit design, networking, and real-time systems to tackle problems and create a final "tangible" project.

Every year at the end of the final quarter the projects are presented at full-day, industry-supported events where student groups publicly present their projects and participate in a project demonstration and poster event.

Senior Project Courses

Student groups design a significant computer-based project. Groups work independently with interaction among groups via interface specifications and informal meetings.

Electrical and Computer Engineering 189A/B/C - Course Website

Instructor (2018-19): Dr. Yogananda Isukapalli (ECE 189A/B/C)

ECE 189A/B/C is a year-long capstone project course sequence in which Computer Engineering (CE) senior students design and implement an embedded computer system. Working in small groups of four to six, the teams draw on the strengths of each member, and projects are intended to be the culmination of the students' undergraduate education, incorporating both significant hardware and software components and, in some cases, mechanical components as well. CE Capstone Projects offer students real-world experience in the lifespan of developing an embedded system: identifying a problem, designing to required specifications, managing budgets and printed circuit board fabrication, and delivering their finished product on time.

CE capstone projects fall into several categories: (i) Student defined projects, in which students come up with the design idea on their own; (ii) Industry sponsored projects, in which an industry partner specifies a design challenge of interest to their organization; (iii) Research group projects, in which a research group at UCSB poses a design challenge; (iv) Student project competitions, in which students enter as contestants in an organized competition.

ECE 189 Senior Projects will be presented on the first Friday in June at the ECE 189 Capstone Project Presentation Event and the Engineering Design Expo (EDx).

Computer Science 189A/B - Course Website

Instructors (2018-19): Profs. Chandra Krintz (CMPSC 189A) and Tevfik Bultan (189B)

Throughout this two course sequence, student teams engage in all aspects of a engineering problem including design, prototype, testing, deployment, and public demonstration.  The course is based on a learn-by-doing approach in which teams employ cutting-edge software technologies, tools, and engineering practices to construct significant software applications and systems. Unique to the UCSB CS Capstone is industry collaboration.  Top companies from around the country partner with and mentor student teams.  Industrial participants propose project ideas (that range from well-defined to wide open) from which student teams choose, as part of short, competitive “pitches”.  The series culminates in a public project presentation and demonstration by each team at Summit CS in March.

ECE Capstone Design

Capstone Design is a culminating course offered to undergraduate students at the UH Cullen College of Engineering. Students work in teams to design, build and test prototypes with real world applications. At the end of each semester students showcase their efforts at the Capstone Design Conference held on the UH Campus.

The Capstone Design course provides students the opportunity to work with real-world, open-ended, interdisciplinary challenges proposed by industrial and research project sponsors. They learn and apply the engineering design process: defining functional requirements, conceptualization, analysis, identifying risks and countermeasures, selection and physical prototyping.

Student teams design and build working prototypes to validate their solutions. By working in diverse teams students develop leadership skills and group dynamics, learn how to handle scheduling conflicts while meeting weekly deliverables and deadlines, and develop strong communication skills.

At the end of the semester, student teams display and pitch their inventions to a panel of judges, invited guest, media and their peers, while competing for prizes and awards. This is an excellent opportunity for sponsors to see how their project was conceptualized by the UH Engineering student teams.

Ece student leads brain activity tracking capstone project.

Rikit Makhija leads Team 24018 in understanding the aging brain.

It’s crunch time for seniors taking part in the Craig M. Berge Engineering Design Program. Nearly 100 teams are fixing bugs, repairing equipment, and making tweaks as they finalize their projects in preparation for judging and display at Craig M. Berge Engineering Design Day on April 29.

Don McDonald, the faculty mentor for Team 24018, explained that the idea is to record brain activity.

This year, McDonald is in his second year of sponsorship, backing a project to help researchers understand the aging brain, which he is also mentoring.

“Brains age and develop problems at different rates,” he said. “The idea is to study the brain under a vast variety of circumstances.”

Team 24018 is improving a tether system used to track rat movements and record neural data as the rats move through a space and see visual stimuli, as well as redesigning and building a new robotic device that is part of the research.

Rikit Makhija, an  electrical and computer engineering  major who is the project lead, said that McDonald’s counsel throughout the project has been very helpful.

“He is guiding us to answers and products that are available that we would not know about otherwise,” Makhija said. “He is also giving us a sense of what the real world of engineering will be like once we leave here, which is very valuable.”

School of Electrical and Computer Engineering

College of engineering, from smart farming to delivery drones, fall capstone design expo highlights student innovation.

Having a green thumb may no longer be a prerequisite for cultivating a thriving garden thanks to a team of forward-thinking students in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE). Team FRMBX won the Best ECE Project Award at the Fall 2023 Capstone Design Expo on Dec. 4 in McCamish Pavilion for their novel farming innovation.  

The team created an autonomous system to control and monitor plant growth to combat the unpredictable environmental conditions and limitations of traditional farming. Anyone, from researchers to hobbyists, can grow plants better with the team's system of collecting and analyzing data.

FRMBX was among 15 ECE student teams that participated in this semester’s Senior Design Expo. Each semester, the Design Expo highlights Georgia Tech’s graduating seniors as they present innovative projects designed and built during the Capstone Design Course. Students work in teams to solve an industry problem and develop innovative tools to assist researchers. 

"The way students acquire extensive knowledge to kick off their projects and then further develop that understanding throughout Capstone is consistently impressive, " said Lakshmi Raju, director of student engagement and well-being. "It highlights the abundance of successful students in our program."

The senior projects showcased by this year's ECE teams covered a wide spectrum. Highlights included a stadium-friendly smart drone for concession delivery, a tablet weaving robot crafting slender fabric strips, and an automatic tuner for guitars that communicates information about the tuning by assessing vibrational frequency.

FRMBX is an enclosure with a controlled environment and sensors for temperature, soil moisture, humidity, light intensity, and carbon dioxide.

ECE Students Contribute to Best Overall Project

Computer engineering students Steven Zhao and Ryan Kil were part of the interdisciplinary team, Big Hero 6, that tied for best overall project award at the Expo.   The team of mechanical, computer, and industrial design engineering students are developing the “Unravl Device” designed to significantly speed up the process of unbraiding hair. They worked with salon owners and customers to create their design and make it feasible for salon use, including removable parts that can be sanitized. The team is working with their sponsor, Swella Braid Bar, in Atlanta to patent their design. 

“The Senior Design Capstone Expo provides an invaluable opportunity for students to collaborate across majors and engage with industry," said Arijit Raychowdhury , professor and Steve W. Chaddick School Chair. "It's a platform where genuine problems are addresses and practical solutions are developed. The display of student innovation is consistently exhilarating. I’m extremely proud of the ECE students who participated this year and appreciate all their hard work.” 

 The Fall 2023 Capstone Expo featured 129 teams across seven schools in the Colleges of Engineering, Computing, and Design. As one of largest student design competitions, Capstone attracts many industry and governmental sponsors.

Capstone Projects: Better by design

Senior design in the College of Engineering benefits both students and sponsors.

On December 7, 2018, seniors in the Edward P. Fitts Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) held their end-of-semester senior design exhibitions at the McKimmon Conference and Training Center on NC State’s campus.

In each department’s exhibition room, rows of tables displayed intriguing project posters and prototypes of designs intended to solve real-world problems, such as a simulation model to help mitigate high wait times for patients at the Durham VA Prime Clinic and an in-flight system to alert helicopter pilots to damaged blades.

This was their day – the day ISE and ECE seniors got to demonstrate their engineering design chops.

All engineering departments at NC State have capstone design courses for their seniors with variations among course length — one semester or two — and program size. Most, but not all, are sponsored projects.

Bobby Compton is the director of ECE’s Senior Design course. ECE’s design program is one of the largest senior design programs in the College.

“We have 200 students in any one semester involved in senior design across four class sections,” he said.

Compton and Dr. Rachana Gupta, teaching associate professor and associate director of ECE Senior Design, teach the two senior design capstone courses, ECE 484 and 485. Each course is one semester long, but students begin their design project in ECE 484 and complete it in ECE 485.

“The students go from the prototype in the first course to full-scale implementation in the second,” said Stacy Nelson, an ECE lecturer who provides instructional support and is responsible for the logistics of ECE Design Day.

According to Nelson, ECE 484 ends with the product requirements fleshed out and a prototype made. Seniors in ECE 485 continue the project but focus on budgeting, project management, marketing and project presentation. Students in both courses make end-of-semester presentations on Senior Design Day.

Dr. Kanton T. Reynolds (IE ’95), teaching associate professor and director of ISE’s undergraduate programs, runs ISE’s senior design program. The department’s Engineering Design Day is the result of work completed in capstone courses ISE 498 and ISE 521. ISE 498 is one semester long. Reynolds and lecturer Jason Low typically co-teach ISE 498, depending on how many students are part of the course. This spring, associate professor Dr. Rohan Shirwaiker was added. Also in the spring, health systems capstone course ISE 521 is held, which is taught by Dr. Julie Ivy. Students spend a year on the ISE 521 projects.

Benefits to students

Reynolds knows that senior design provides significant benefits to students.

“It allows the students to take the knowledge they’ve accumulated over their academic career at NC State and punctuate it with a course that encapsulates all of the opportunities that they may have to display that knowledge,” he said.

Reynolds adds that the students get to work in a team on a long-standing project and deliver it to a customer while demonstrating they are worthy of working for that company.

Early on, Reynolds makes sure that the students have the skills needed to meet the sponsors’ needs. Students are assigned to project teams as soon as the second day of class.

Kurtis Konrad, who graduated in December with degrees in industrial engineering and economics, was teamed with Trevor Bryant, Adam Dorr and Stephanie Stugg. They worked for HSM Solutions, a furniture manufacturing company in Hickory, NC, developing an inventory tracking and performance management system.

Konrad said that senior design projects provide an excellent experience for students as they prepare to join the work force: “(Senior design) allows you to work on a team and gives you the guarantee of working on a specific project. You follow an entire project from start to some sort of finishing point, so you get to see all of the steps involved,” he said.

Benefits to sponsors

Both programs rely on various means of recruiting sponsors.

“We actively meet and engage with companies and research centers throughout the year to harvest projects,” Compton said.

ECE Senior Design has a number of repeat sponsors including the Army Research Office, Duke Energy, NAVAIR, Pentair and Schneider Electric.

Trudi Brown, ECE director of external relations, said that sponsors like to work with the senior design teams. “What sets our students apart is our in-depth program, and when you talk to external people that have been involved with the program, they will tell you how pleased they are with the students’ knowledge and approach to problem-solving.”

ISE recruits many of its sponsors through cold calls and the Engineering Career Fair. When Reynolds recruits company sponsors, he’ll tell them, “It’s try before you buy … You’re getting a group of three to five students working for you exclusively for an entire semester and you get to take them for a test drive. You get to see them work with your staff, each other and with external partners.”

He further points out that senior design teams provide dedicated resources to work on a problem, resources the company may not have. For example, Toshiba makes point-of-sale systems and was looking to understand the shopping and buying patterns of “twenty-somethings.” Toshiba used an ISE senior project team to design an optimal self-checkout for a shopper in the team’s age demographic.

Among its many repeat sponsors, ISE has a group of strong company and industry supporters of senior design including IBM, Tyndall, Caterpillar and Altec.

Juli Trexler (ISE ‘97) is global executive and director of IBM Support as a Service Business Line. She serves on ISE’s advisory board, has served as an Engineering Design Day judge and has sponsored several senior design projects, including one last semester. Team members Rodrigo Cabrera, Shadia Garrison, Matt Hutmacher and Rachel Nagley collaborated on a global project with all regions to create recommendations to reduce IBM’s parts delivery timeliness (PDT) reporting time and increase global consistency.

Trexler found the team to be very quick to “jump in, assess the project from a process standpoint and then make recommendations on a pretty complex operation.” She was pleased with their final recommendations.

Altec Industries, Inc., is a trucking equipment company in Creedmoor, NC. According to Scott Cunningham, plant manager, the company recently purchased a second facility next door. Altec wanted to move all fiberglass operations to the new building.

Senior design team members Rollin Jenkins, Spain Niemer and Mikayla Slomski came up with two ways of transporting parts between the two facilities, detailing the pros and cons of each. Cunningham said that the company plans to move forward with one of the concepts and that the manufacturing team enjoyed the experience. “It helped us. I hope it helped them to see some real-world challenges out there and apply what they learned in school … I felt that it was a win for us, it was a win for the students.”

There’s a consensus among faculty members, students and sponsors: Senior design projects make everyone a winner.

A Node Overhaul Scheme for Energy Efficient Clustering in Wireless Sensor Networks

The research offered a node overhaul strategy that maintains uniform size clusters with no overlap while simultaneously achieving load balancing and energy economy. When appropriate, the suggested approach refurbishes the original clusters based on a second-best option cluster head after forming the first clusters. In comparison to previous simulated methodologies, the findings produced thus far demonstrate a significant improvement in network longevity and node mortality rate.

An Improved Energy Efficient Clustering Protocol to Prolong the Lifetime of the WSN-Based IOT

The research proposed an increased energy efficient clustering protocol (IEECP) to increase the lifetime of WSN-based IoT devices. There are three sections in the proposed IEECP. The optimal number of clusters is first determined for the overlapping balanced clusters. Then, using a modified fuzzy C-means algorithm together with a system to reduce and balance the energy consumption of the sensor nodes, balanced-static clusters are constructed. Finally, by rotating the CH function across cluster members using a new CH selection-rotation algorithm that includes a back-off timing mechanism for CH selection and a rotation mechanism for CH rotation, cluster heads (CHs) are selected at ideal places.

LEACH Protocol Enhancement for Increasing WSN Lifetime

The reduction of packet delay time was suggested as a novel strategy for improving WSN in terms of network lifetime and data transmission time. The suggested algorithm's simulated outcome was contrasted with the fundamental LEACH procedure with fixed parameters. In terms of network lifespan, the suggested method outperformed the fundamental LEACH.

Deep Learning Based Parametric Model for V2V Communication System

The other vehicle's distance from the system's camera-equipped Zigbee pair and ultrasonic sensor was measured. The receiver will receive an alert command from zigbee and a mail alert with the image that was captured if the distance is less than the threshold value. The receiver is then alerted. Using a Raspberry Pi at the transmitter and an Arduino at the receiver, this technology implements vehicle-to-vehicle communication.

Virtex 7 FPGA Implementation of 256 Bit Key AES Algorithm with Key Schedule and Sub Bytes Block Optimization

In the work, a 256-bit AES algorithm that is well optimised for area and power in key schedule and sub bytes blocks was suggested. The S-box block was reused to achieve the optimization. Internal operations of the algorithm using the new technique are 32-bit operations rather than 128-bit operations. The suggested approach makes use of slice registers to reduce space while enabling pipelined use of the same hardware.

Innovation unveiled: ECEE students to showcase design projects

This year, team projects impact critical areas in sustainability, assistive technologies, communications, microgrid power distribution and new sensing technologies.

The ECEE Capstone Design course is a two-semester course for every senior in the department. Students collaborate as teams to design a product from concept to prototype. Each team partners with a sponsoring organization to define a product, determine suitable technology options and create a design from proof to final custom hardware and software. 

Through these hands-on experiences, students gain essential career skills into practice as professional engineers. 

Capstone Design, led by Scholar in Residence Eric Bogatin, has 10 industry sponsors and four faculty sponsors. Their organization sponsors include: Medtronic, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), the Colorado Space Grant Consortium, Line Vision, Microchip Technologies, SparkFun, Fieldline, LUUM, Quality Life Plus and Augustus Aerospace.

Projects you will see at the Expo 2024 include: 

Team The Band is designing and building  a new product for SparkFun Electronics — a home air quality monitor. A small sensor box will sit in your home, and an app on your smartphone will give you access to the current air quality and a recorded history. Features in the user interface will be suitable for the casual user and the scientist inside all of us.

Team Formula 10 is designing and building an automatic room air purifier working off of a 48-volt microgrid. This system will monitor the indoor air quality, such as particle count, temperature, humidity and CO2 level. When it exceeds a threshold, the purifier activates a fan with a filter and UV purification lights. Since it is powered by a microgrid, the efficiency of the power delivery system is monitored and new power conversion technologies are demonstrated. 

Team JALATT is working with JPL to design and build a self-aligning connector system for autonomous, self-assembling CubeSats. A custom test bed will help  evaluate the contact resistance, leakage and signal bandwidth for power and data flow between CubeSats. This test bed will initially be demonstrated with a prototype connector design, which JPL will use to test future connector technologies. 

In collaboration with the Colorado Space Grant Consortium, Team Oval is designing a prototype Luna Sat sensor network. This is a collection of small, solar-powered circuit boards that will self-assemble into a wireless network of sensor nodes. This initial version will be used on Earth and distributed as a kit to 9-12th grade students around the world as part of the Great Lunar Expedition for Everyone (GLEE) project . This will give students a chance to explore remote data acquisition experiments.

Distinguished Professor Dragan Maksimovic is sponsoring a project on air quality monitoring and controls.

Assistant Professor Marco Nicotra is sponsoring a project on using a laser link to control a remote drone.

Professor Al Gasiewski is sponsoring a project on remote sensing to map atmospheric emissions in the k-band

Distinguished Professor Zoya Popovic is sponsoring a project on transmitting useful power to a ground station from a drone. 

Professor Scott Diddams is advising a team using an atomic clock to stabilize a grandfather clock. 

Check out all student teams on April 26 from 2 to 5 p.m. at the CU Indoor Practice Facility !

Project Summary

The State College transportation system contains a network known as the “Inner Loop”, which connects the major roadways using collector roads. This loop on its eastern side is incomplete, however, as Park Avenue needs a connection to link it to Blue Course Drive and North Atherton Street. This cost-effective connection is needed to reduce the level of congestion and mitigate the rate of crashes associated with the existing roads, while also having a minimal impact on the environment.

To design and model an alternative that expands State College’s transportation system and completes the symmetry and connectivity of the “Inner Loop”. We aim to create a safer and more efficient commuting environment in the North-Eastern area of the township while maintaining a cost-effective and sustainable design.

– Reviewed documents listing previous and predicted annual average daily traffic (AADT) for the surrounding roads, as well as their crash data – Created an environmental impact list to assess each potential alignment and determine their practicality within the site – Sketched alignments for the proposed designs using AutoCAD Civil 3D; ultimately decided to select the Blue Course alignment – Performed in-depth cost estimations that analyzed the alignment’s, earthwork, pavement design, and construction cost to complete a cost-benefit analysis

– This Blue Course alignment will cost an estimated $22 million to construct, making it an economically sound design – The crash rate in the area is reduced by more than 90% with the Blue Course design, increasing the safety of the overall roadway system – This design reduces the travel time by 5 minutes for each traveler, saving $7 million in yearly travel time costs

Course Spotlight: Electromechanical Design (ENG ME360)

Electromechanical Design (ENG ME360) is a core course for all BU undergraduate who is pursuing a Mechanical Engineering (MechE) degree. From designing to building, MechE juniors focus on the use of engineering principles, simulation, and physical models in product design. This course’s hands-on exercises allow students to propose solutions to practical problems and to develop their ideas through the construction and testing of physical prototypes. The hands-on exercise given this term was to build a machine from scratch with just the requirement to include 2.5 degrees of freedom. This project unlocks a world of possibilities and creativity for the students. From 3D printing parts to coding the program needed to run their machines, these students come together to build some pretty interesting machines.

Professor Enrique Gutierrez-Wing has been teaching this course for 14 years. When talking to hi m about ME360 and his experience teaching at BU , Professor Gutierrez-Wing noted,

I never get bored of teaching this class because all the projects are so diverse. This class is where students get to unleash their creativity. Because everything is made from scratch, they are all prepared for their senior capstone projects next year.”

When talking to students, their biggest challenge was getting consistent results, but with some perseverance and small adjustments they were able to succeed. From laser cutters to pancake makers, there are so many projects to see. Click below to check out some of this year’s projects!
