Wire to Water: Pump Staging Improvement Program
Student engineers working to replace a existing legacy software with a modern, updated program to avoid possible support issues and provide a updated resource that has upgrade potential. The program is used to determine when to stage pumping system components on/off to lower the power needs required as a system’s demands change.
Robot Arm with Machine Learning
Embark on a technological marvel with our cutting-edge project that employs a dynamic combination of a camera, Raspberry Pi, and a robot arm to emulate a futuristic production line through sophisticated machine learning algorithms.
Drone Aerial Robotic Integration Arm (A.R.I.A)
Student engineers designed, assembled, and programed a proof of concept drone with a robotic arm to evaluate eliminating human contact in dangerous situations.
MPW High-Output Chemical Dosing Skid
Students partnered with MPW Industrial Water to design and assemble the High-Output Chemical Dosing Skid. This skid allows MPW's Industrial Water team to tackle extreme industrial wastewater projects. It offers plug-and-play functionality to seamlessly integrate into MPW's existing control systems designed for smaller pumps. This increases the chemical dosing capacity of MPW's mobile treatment equipment from 15.8 GPH to 248 GPH.
What is Senior Design?
Student teams conduct major open-ended research and design projects. Elements of the design process including establishment of objectives, synthesis, analysis, and evaluation are integral parts of the capstone. Real-world constraints such as economical and societal factors, marketability, ergonomics, safety, aesthetics, and ethics are also an integral part of the capstone.
Teams typically consist of two or three ºÚÁÏÉçÇøs. The projects are usually defined based on one or several of the following factors:
- Students' interest area
- Students' employer interest area
- ENT faculty research interest
The projects need to be approved by the instructor of the course (senior design advisor). Each concentration at ENT Department will have at least one senior design instructor (advisor). Students are also encouraged to work with other ENT or non-ENT faculty, called mentors, for further technical advice.
