Team members: Asad Chaudry Guthrey Coy Brandonn Gorman Our project is to design a mesh of optical fibers that is conscious of its own state. This mesh will be able to sense changes in its shape, temperature, and strain and then display this data on a monitor. This technology can...

Team members: Joseph Kramer Leonid Ovanesyan James Thompson Learning a new song or even a new instrument is a tedious process that can be irritating and discouraging at times. The advent of music-based video games presents a proof-of-concept for alternative means of learning music. Although such games employ simplified controllers,...

Team members: Lucas Greve Thomas Horacek The overall design goal of our project is to create a wireless security and loss prevention device. The device would track individual wireless modules that could be attached to mobile electronics like a cell phone or other non-electronic peripherals like your wallet. If the...

Team members: Christopher Karman Erik Scherbenske Niket Sheth Peter Van Der Hoop It is a tedious task for students to draw on concrete with chalk as a medium for communication to promote organizations and ongoing events. Similarly, the grounds crews of sporting events have tiresome jobs that require going out...

Team members: Dominic Boiko Tseng Ching-Han Harout Hedeshian Joel Meisinger Frankie Ning The objective of this project is to engineer a fully operational three dimensional printer which could then be used to produce functional prototypes. The 3D printer works by depositing an ABS plastic material on a flat surface. The...

Team member: Philip Maksimovic The goal of XROVER is to add relay capabilities and terrain (defined in requirements) driving abilities to the multi-rover system developed by ReMuS and R3. The legacy MR/CR navigation system will be updated from its current 2D detection and data transfer abilities to 3D detection and...

Team members: Shamlan Albahar Rifaah Alkhamis Doug Bloomquist Christopher DeBoer The design objective is to create a wireless sensor network that can be used to study wildlife and how it reacts to changes in its environment. This will be done by creating small, low power sensor boards that have the...

Team members: Travis Cartwright Ken Hua Ryan Le Andy McCormick Daniel Redington For our project we would like to build a quadcopter that will be able to follow beacons that we will set up autonomously. For our main objectives we wish to acomplish: Assembly of quadcopter (frame, motors, "brain", propellers)...

Team members: Ararat Adamian Tyler Blair Brian McDonald Adrian Williams The main purpose of this project is to design and implement a 3-dimensional LED cube. This cube will be able to take user input and then output it visually to the LED cube. This cube will also be able to...

Team members: Steven Benedict John Chen Matt Graeff Blake Ipson Weston Weige Advancements in optical science have allowed for medical endoscopes to be made small enough to probe inside the human body. A method of building the optical components small enough to function in these endoscopes is to lithographically etch...
