The ΩboyZ are working with Professor Frank Barnes at the University of Colorado at Boulder to create a Magnetic Field Stabilization System for Cell Cultures. Our system interacts with the user via a touch screen where the user can select a desired magnetic field and experiment duration. Our system produces...

The Energy Management System, inspired by the previous work of Professor Khurram Afridi, is a simple to use, low cost, solar powered system that provides electricity to the those without access to a power grid. This product provides the equipment and controls necessary to implement a household DC (direct current)...

The NeighborGrid is an electricity distribution solution for people who live in communities that lack an electrical grid; where owners of solar panels are the only residents of a community who have access to electricity. Residents will use the NeighborGrid to establish their own grid, at low cost and under...

The goal of our project is to create a device that can noninvasively measure internal body temperature of a person. This device must be wireless, wearable and non-intrusive so that it can be worn when participating in physical activities. Currently there exists no way to measure a person's internal body...

Learning about hardware and software for the first time can be an extremely confusing and frustrating experience. Far from getting students excited about creating cool projects, students often walk away convinced they must not be smart enough to be an engineer. This is sad and wholly unnecessary. EDUbot changes this...

The objective of this project is to enable people with low mobility, including recovering patients, paraplegics, and the elderly, control their hospital bed (Hill-Rom VersaCare model), television, and room lights via voice recognition. It is common for nurses/caretakers to take multiple trips to a patient's room to complete simple tasks...

Team members: Joe Chmura Garrett Earnshaw Mieszko Krugen Yoni Mekuria Imagine sitting with your laptop in your home. From the convenience of your couch you can control the stereo, turn on the lights, and start the coffee maker all with minimum effort and info-structure. This will be the control center...

Team members: Anders Fornberg Sean Groves Alex Henriquez Shannon Lahr Aaron Lyons Numerous car accidents occur every day that could easily be avoided. The purpose of our project is to develop a prototype system that will minimize these accidents and could eventually be expanded for commercial applications. Description: Modified RC...

Team members: Josh Bingaman Ryan Hitchler John Maitin Matt Sharp We propose to use high-frequency RF signaling to control a vehicle via a remote transmitter. This vehicle will track down a subject carrying said transmitter. One practical application of this system can be motorizing and controlling pull carts on the...

Team members: Jeremiah Anderson Ryan Schnell Michael Weimer Mike Wong For the senior design project we will be building a device that will be capable of "listening" to vibrations on a flexible medium by means of a reflected laser signal, such as a window driven by pressure variations due to...
