    Automated Ramen Noodle Vending Machine
    (2018-12-04) Ragozzino, Dan R.; Goodman, David
    Contained in the following report is a complete and detailed document of the design and implementation for the development of an automated ramen noodle vending machine unit. Covered topics include justification and specification development, which considers target consumer audience as well as some considerations for safety ratings and features that are required for consumer appliances. Also covered is the development and implementation phase, entailing translating design into a physical and functional prototype that achieves specifications detailed in the design phase. There are three major components of the development phase: hardware, interface and software. Each component of development is covered in detail, including troubleshooting and on-the-fly changes made to design to accommodate issues that arise during the prototype development. The last section of the document includes some considerations for iterative design. Issues encountered during prototype development will also be documented. A fully detailed operations guide will also be included. In the appendices of the document are the full printout of the software, detailed spec sheets of individual hardware components, as well as documents from the design phase.

    Automated Test Cell for Compressed Gas
    (2019-04-30) Meni, Ani; Pereira, Thomas; Griffith, Emma; Goodman, David; Lin, Bill
    This report details the components, decisions, and functionality to modify a manual system designed to gather data to create equations that correlate pressure and ultrasonic dB to flow. Our modifications turn the entirely manual system into a system that will automatically gather data from each sensor and write them to an Excel file. The data collected can then be used to create the equations.

    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.

    Nano-compatible tensile testing machine
    (2024) Johnson, Martez; Scott, Austin; Izadian, Afshin
    The Nano-Compatible Tensile Testing Machine (NCT TM) represents a collaborative effort to develop a system for measuring the mechanical proper ties of nanomaterials. This project integrates interchangeable load cells, alongside a digital caliper within a single system that interfaces with a user’s microscope. This data combined with what the user can gather via their microscope capabilities will enable precise assessment of tensile strength, yield strength, and Young’s modulus. By bridging the gap between traditional testing methods and the unique challenges posed by nanotechnology, the NCT TM promises to advance research capabilities within materials science here at IUPUI.
