    API’s & Machine Learning Principles For Fire Systems
    (2024-04-24) Felts, Joshua; Moe, Chris; Weissbach, Robert; Freije, Elizabeth; Pash, Phillip
    The FireConnect product line exists as a well-developed system for remote monitoring of fire protection systems with an extensive array of compatibility and iterations based on the controller manufacturers and their product lines, each with their own unique communication protocols. The FireConnect service provides the user with a unique interface for their monitoring service with access through a web-based browser or a dedicated mobile application. This product also collects and aggregates the same data on the service providers cloud-based servers, where we as the manufacturer can access this data via an API, or Application Programming Interface. This provides us, the manufacturer, with a plethora of data with an infinite amount of value, ripe with potential for monetization. The problem is nothing has been developed to make use of the data and its untapped potential outside of the real-time monitoring system unless an individual with extensive experience and industry knowledge were to examine the data trends. The goal of this project was to use the data in such a way to generate sales based on the logical use of this data and industry specific requirements for maintenance and testing, to provide automatically generated leads. These leads are to be automatically populated on a user interface, not to be confused with the existing product offering, but to be used by customer service or sales managers to proactively engage with customers, while simultaneously generating an email-based notification for the customer on file.

    Cape of Wonders Club
    (2022-08-07) Alyami, Bandar; Alghamdi, Mohammed; Weissbach, Robert; Lin, William; Pash, Phil; Freije, Elizabeth
    This project aims to create a cape of wonders club that includes technologies. This cape is a square piece of fabric material with electronics inside it, including a blood alcohol sensor, noise sensor, user input screen, and visual display. The electronics are integrated using a microcontroller, which acts as a brain to operate each electronic device. Two battery banks are built to power the electronics and ensure that the project can run for at least 6 hours. The project's two sensors are designed to produce readings. The blood alcohol sensor indicates the level of ethanol in the cape user's blood and displays the results to determine whether the user is below the legal limit or not. The noise sensor reads the music sound in the nightclub and converts it into patterns, which are then shown on the visual display. The visual display, on the other hand, will function as an output, displaying the music patterns. Furthermore, the visual display will exhibit emojis and shapes. The user input screen will allow the user to choose amongst Emojis, shapes, and patterns to be represented in the visual display. The developers of the project will work on building, coding, soldering, and testing these electronics to ensure that they function properly. They will ensure that this club cape is well-made and that it seems fashionable and appealing to the customers of the nightclub cape.

    CM Buck Project
    (2024-05-02) Boone, Sam; Gonzalez, Anthony; Freije, Elizabeth; Pash, Phillip
    For this project, we are looking at a more cost-effective alternative to the Modbus to BACnet converters that are being used with the critical power equipment our company sells. These converters will be used in places where the existing building management systems use BACnet communication protocols. The current converters are over-engineered and overly complex for our customers’ needs who are requesting a simplified option. Our design needs to be able to monitor multiple pieces of critical power equipment, as well as have ride through time in the event of power loss to provide continuous monitoring.

    Electronic Tabletop Miniatures Game
    (2023-05-05) Mahaffey, Nikolas; Freije, Elizabeth; Craig, Stephens; Mahaffey, Nikolas; Masheck, Charles; Dohner, James
    The purpose of this project is to create an Electronic Tabletop Miniatures Game that offers an electronic and computerized element to traditional existing games like Warhammer 40K, Dungeons and Dragons, and others. The gameboard must be expandable to allow for large scale games, which is achieved through the ability of the PCBs to be plugged into one another to increase the gameplay area. Small PCBs on the individual game pieces or tokens store the information and attributes of each piece, allowing them to be placed onto the gameboard to communicate their position, identity, and attributes. The rule keeper device, acting as the central computer, manages gameplay and enforces rules while also having the ability to substantiate gameplay on the physical board through the use of individually addressable LEDs. This project will provide players with an exciting and immersive gaming experience while offering the added convenience of a computerized interface that tracks and manages gameplay.

    Gathering ABET student outcome evidence using technology: What happens when results don't match grant goals and research takes an unexpected turn?
    (ASEE, 2018-06) Freije, Elizabeth; Christie, Barbara; Cooney, Elaine M.; Engineering Technology, School of Engineering and Technology
    Small research grants can offer faculty members the opportunity to explore potential solutions to automate the collection of student outcome evidence as needed to support ABET assessment plans. This paper explores the results of two such grants that sought to utilize a student electronic portfolio to archive evidence and seamlessly aggregate the evidence for assessment purposes. In addition, the integration of an electronic portfolio, the ePDP, could promote both ABET assessment data collection as well as reflective activities to assist students in viewing the curriculum as a developmental process, aggregating evidence over the enrollment years. However, the research activities exposed several flaws. TaskStream DRF template did not facilitate seamless integration between the instructor’s ABET rubrics in TaskStream and the student assignment. Nor did TaskStream aggregate the student work in such a way that the student or the instructor could efficiently analyze its correlation to an ABET student outcome. Specifically, redundant input was required from both the students and the instructors. Despite the disappointing limitations exposed with the grant funds, and hopeful attempts to resolve the identified flaws, the researchers found an unexpected and satisfying solution outside of the electronic portfolio. The learning management system, Canvas, features the tool: Outcomes. The tool allows mastery statements to be created and shared across courses in a program. The mastery statements can be imported into a specific course, then linked to assignment rubrics, previously created to assess student submissions. Rich information on student outcome attainment is available when the Outcome tool is used consistently by faculty.

    Houseplant Advisor
    (2021) Griswold, Andrew E.; Magnabosco, Nadia E.; Freije, Elizabeth; Cooney, Elizabeth
    For capstone in the ECET department, it was expected for this group to create a houseplant advisor device. The device includes an LCD touchscreen, temperature/humidity sensor, and a light sensor. The device is expected to take a 24-hour scan of a certain area of a home. Then based off the average light, humidity, and temperature, it would recommend a plant that would do well in that specific area and display it on the touchscreen. The customer also wanted the device to have the option of logging the owned plants and to send a reminder when to water them.

    Internet of Things Proof of Concept
    (2018-12-04) Cucore, Travis; Lin, William; Freije, Elizabeth
    The EdgeNet platform was conceived of to satisfy graduation requirements and demonstrate a breadth and depth of knowledge capable of working with embedded systems and supporting their integration with larger software platforms. The project is justified as a valid senior design supported by several senior level CpET courses described in the introduction of this report. The EdgeNet IoT platform provides a flexible and brandable platform for connecting consumers and business with devices they wish to monitor or manipulate remotely. Built using industry standard languages and frameworks, consumer facing applications share a common code-base, reducing costs associated with code maintenance and development. The platform is architected around the MQTT (Message Queuing and Telemetry Transport) protocol version 3.1.1. However, the discovery of “Doze Mode,” a feature of Android API versions 23 and above, has complicated the implementation of wireless communication for consumer facing applications. To get around this, the project must be rearchitected to comply with application service windows.

    Inverted Pendulum
    (2022-05-06) Aljadani, Fuad; Freije, Elizabeth; Stephens, Criag
    The inverted Pendulum system is an example system in physics, dynamics, and control field. The center of mass of the Inverted Pendulum is about its pivot point and the Inverted Pendulum can be hung stably in its inverted position by using the control system to monitor the angle of the rod and moving the pivot point horizontally back below the center of gravity when the rod starts to fall over to maintain its balance. So, the purpose of this project is to repair a digital control for an inverted pendulum system which can keep the Inverted pendulum in a balanced position. We implement a system solution which includes a power supply that will generate power for the microcontroller and the cart motor. Also, this program will have a microcontroller that will meet the requirement for both hardware and software as this program will have a microcontroller that is able to communicate with the power supply and the cart motor by cables in order to give the instruction to the system. Also, the microcontroller should be capable of having a USB port in order to download the program. It will also be able to receive and send data to process encoder data and control the DC motor such that the inverted pendulum is balanced in an upright position.
