Team members: Alex Fosdick Bryan Edelman Justin Simmons Michael Stein For our Capstone senior design project, we will be building a Beverage Dispensing System (BDS) where we will interface electrical devices to mechanical devices to control and deliver a diverse and complex project. Often times at restaurants, event venues, fast...

Team members: Hassan Al-Abodib Marisol Lozano Peng Chen Yirui Huang Kamal Sabi In recent years, there has been a rise in fuel cost and concerns about climate change are rampant. People have the desire to conserve energy in their daily lives, but often times the amount of energy being consumed...

Team members: Damian Manda Sarah McNamara Leonardo Ascarrunz Brian Fairburn Often, employees with cognitive disabilities have difficulty dealing with unexpected events that can occur while performing job related tasks. The purpose of our project is to provide a wirelessly powered sensor platform to monitor these employees, and various aspects of...

Team members: Dillon Krasovec Robert Glissman Ben Walker Patrick Hanschen Jerod Ellingson Computers have seen rapid advancements in power and visual presentation, but the interfaces with which we control the computer, namely the mouse and keyboard, have remained essentially unchanged for over 20 years. This project proposes to develop a...

Team members: Justin Price Brandon Parks Brandon Arment The TenCup Entertainment Table is an interactive table that enhances the game-play experience of the game of Beirut while enhancing spectator entertainment. To accomplish this, we will incorporate a game tracking system that will track game time, score, and win streak. Also,...

Team members: Eric Pahlke Greg Stahl Riley Pack Kelly Shuster For our Electrical and Computer Engineering Capstone Senior Design project we have chosen to build an autonomous motion-detecting turret. Using cameras, the turret will be able to detect motion, track a moving target, then launch some type of projectile (a...

Team members: Erik Morrissey Chris Weigel Ho Yun Chan Our project objective is to design and build a RFID-enabled poker table. In doing so, we will explore methods of integrating RFID tags into thin, flexible objects, along with methods of using RFID tags to provide positional information. Further, we plan...

Team members: Nicholas Mans Jonathan Wehling Cameron Chapman Andrew Brownfield Our task is to build and test a proof of concept Endfire Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), in order to reconstruct a 3D image of the terrain in front of a radar antenna. SAR is currently only used in side-looking configurations...

Team members: Salman Alsaif Thomas Rutkowski Vivian Phinney Mark Hasemeyer Steven Carroll Ocular Microtremors (OMT) are a constant, physiological, high-frequency, low-amplitude eye-tremor that all human beings have. Initial clinical studies have shown that OMT accurately reflect the activity and health of the brainstem, an important indicator for doctors treating comatose...

Team members: Robert Benson David Hover Paul Niewoonder Jonathan Tate For our project, we will design an embedded software graphics accelerator. At its heart will be a custom media-centric co-processor design, referred to as the shader unit. Compared to other processor designs, the shader unit will have very high floating-point...
