The Claaaaaaw!: A Neuroprosthetic Teaching Aid

 

Adam B. Furore, Eric D. McLeish, Hobey Tam (Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology)

 

A teaching device to be implemented in a neuroprosthetics course was designed and fabricated to condition electrical impulses from the user's innate nervous system to control a claw machine that has freedom of motion in the 3 principle axes of motion and a claw to enable manipulation of objects.

 

2nd Place ($75):

 

Supersonic Nozzle Design

 

Nathan Shumway, Dr. Fredrick Haan (Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology)

 

This project's goal was to design and create a converging-diverging nozzle and Schlieren system that could work with a small compressor. After testing the compressor and two different nozzles the system produced clear images of oblique shocks.

 

3rd Place ($50):  

 

United Electrical Engineering and Design Engineering Technology Packaging Project

Nick Cocanower, Daniel Grabill (Trine University)

 

Combining two different engineering fields, students were forced to experience a real life career situation. The class was assigned and successful in communicating, resulting in quality packaging for Electrical Engineering printed circuit boards in a Design for Manufacturing and Assembly course.
