Bandpass: A Smart Resistance Exercise Band To Monitor Strength, Suehayla Mohieldin

ENGS 88 Honors Thesis (AB Students)

Resistance exercise bands are being incorporated into clinical weight loss programs, particularly for older adults, as resistance training can mitigate the trajectory of muscle mass and bone density loss that can occur while dieting. However, adherence to home-based treatments cannot be reliably ascertained by clinicians as there is no method for clinicians to monitor patient compliance outside of the clinic. BANDPASS, a smart resistance band used for exercise, was developed to bridge the gap between clinicians and patients, allowing for easy remote monitoring of patients’ exercise performance. The device integrates a 10kΩ linear potentiometer to TheraBand® tubing. When the user …

2019 Ieee Southeastcon Hardware Competition: A Systems Engineering Approach, Emily Sage

Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects

The Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Huntsville section invites college students to participate in their annual SoutheastCon Conference. Western Kentucky University sends a team of engineering students to the hardware competition, an opportunity for students to design and build autonomous robots. The 2019 hardware competition called for students to develop a robot that could collect and sort debris by color. This thesis outlines the project lifecycle of the WKU 2019 SoutheastCon robot with an emphasis on implemented systems engineering tools and techniques. Systems Engineering is an interdisciplinary approach to project management that focuses on treating the overall project …
