FALL 2022 DESIGN DAY
Our Fall 2022 Engineering Design Day event will be held on Thursday, December 8th, 2022, from 1:00pm-3:30pm in EIS Courtyard.
Please view our 2022 Design Day Booklet which provides a picture and description of all projects that will be participating in the 2022 event.
Design Day is the largest College of Engineering event and it showcases the exciting and innovative design projects that our undergraduate Engineering students conceive, design and build during the academic year. Each Senior Design classes in Aerospace Engineering, Civil, Construction & Environmental Engineering, Electrical & Computer Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering will be participating. 73 projects will be showcased at the 2022 Engineering Design Day event. Below are the Mechanical Engineering Senior Design projects that will be showcased at the event (More details of individual projects will be available as the event draws closer).
The purpose of our project is to explore improvements in the energy harvesting potential of piezoelectric crystals and suggest applications. Crystals grown in biomimetically inspired structures were compared with solid crystals of the same volume and impact area. These crystals were compared against varying impact forces, frequencies, and crystal volumes to evaluate energy capture and durability.

The team was tasked to design, manufacture, assemble, and program a custom DIW printer with a mounting system that can be integrated onto a commercially available fused deposition modeling
(FDM) 3D printer. The mount will be equipped with an extruder and a high-resolution camera system powered by a high precision dispenser that contains software to be utilized by the 3D Printer.

This project was originally intended to service as a personal transport device for a child with a disability and was designed to be catered to his exact dimensions and personal comfort. It is intended for offroad use with assistance and implements a simple suspension system into a reclining chair with a 6061 aluminum frame.

Our goal is to create a 3D bone scaffold that is both porous and mechanically strong to mimic a human bone through AM-SS. To do this, the team needed to design and print a sacrificial mold to be filled with Hydroxyapatite which is
pressurized in a Cold Isostatic Press. This then undergoes a fusion process via sintering to produce a scaffold with the targeted porosity as well as the targeted mechanical strength.

The team has developed a system that is capable of reliably launching four UUVs remotely and also capable of being
mounted on the WAMV-16. The system is attached right below the payload platform of the WAMV-16 with ratchet straps and the electronics on board are enclosed inside a PelicanTM Case on top of the payload platform. The drone holding and releasing mechanism is driven by a NEMA-34 stepper motor.

The objective is determining ignition time delay of a solid fuel undergoing a constant control radiative heat flux, the
impact of thickness and thermal conductivity on PMMA and cellulose sample flame spread rates, and the effect of thickness on flame spread rate in the presence of controlled air flow or burn angles.

Our goal was to develop a proof of concept design to accurately and rapidly measure temperature of a semiconductor device case. The concepts would be designed to be integrated with Cohu’s existing thermal heads in order to use existing testing equipment to gather data.

The goal is to provide biometric data to users by implanting a microprocessor, battery, and sensors in a shoe insole to transmit data to processing software. This will provide usable, meaningful data to the customer who can then act on
it.
