Short Bar Removal, Austin Kasap, Connor Medina, Rodrigo Munoz
Short Bar Removal, Austin Kasap, Connor Medina, Rodrigo Munoz
Student Scholarship – Engineering
During production, Nucor occasionally gets short steel bars that do not meet the length specifications of their customers. Currently, removing these bars is a manual process that requires 1-2 workers to remove the bars from the line manually, which is both time consuming and costly. Part of the challenge of this process is that bars come off a cooling bed and then they form a group of bars (so they can stack and bundle them for transport). This is the point where the short bars must be removed. It is the goal of the project to investigate and identify a …

Vex-U Robotics, Rachel Meyer, Coby Mollema, Kalvin Quackenbush
Student Scholarship – Engineering
Every year, the ONU Robotics Team participates in the VEX U competition. The VEX U college and university competition has more than 300 teams competing annually. Based on the VEX Robotics Competition, VEX U teams are allowed more customization and greater flexibility than other grade levels while providing the effective costs and real-world limitations of a restricted development environment. The competition changes every school year (also referred as season) to provide new challenges for the teams. In the 2021-2022 season, the name of the competition is Tipping Point. Tipping Point is played on a 12’x12’ square field. Two Alliances – …
Fish Pond Aerator Energy Source, Matt George, Luke Johnson, Benjamin Ridler
Fish Pond Aerator Energy Source, Matt George, Luke Johnson, Benjamin Ridler
Student Scholarship – Engineering
Previous senior design projects have designed an alternative aerator system for a tilapia farm in Guatemala. Instead of using a pump to create bubbles, a water agitator was designed. Given that the cost of electricity is roughly 50% of the cost to produce tilapia, the need for this semester is to design and suggest alternative sources of energy (e.g., solar, wind, hydro energy). In addition, strategies to reduce the cost of energy (e.g., on/off cycling, demand analysis) are welcome. Finally, all these options must be evaluated through computer simulations or similar engineering analysis.

In-Line Leak Detection, Nate Mayo, Ben Murfin, Dan Pietz
Student Scholarship – Engineering
Develop and in-line leak detection system for the bottle packaging lines.
Perry Center Supplemental Heating, Bekah Kruger, Sam Lonard, Nick Willis
Perry Center Supplemental Heating, Bekah Kruger, Sam Lonard, Nick Willis
Student Scholarship – Engineering
Students will design a supplemental heat system to help increase the temperature of the fluid in the Geothermal heat system. Currently the Geothermal system does not provide adequate heating for Perry Center during the winter. A heat exchanger has been proposed by the Physical Plant to remedy the problem.
In-Line Profile/Easy Open Inspection, Margaux Catafort-Silva, Kyle Pearson, Josh Turner
In-Line Profile/Easy Open Inspection, Margaux Catafort-Silva, Kyle Pearson, Josh Turner
Student Scholarship – Engineering
Design, build, and test a device that has the capability of visually inspecting our zipper profiles on our production lines for start-ups or a device that can detect easy-open/weak zippers during regular production.

Sae-Baja 4wd Redesign, Alex Detcher, Samuel Goin, James Legrand, Javier Martinez, Tyler Minogue, Wyatt Wagner
Student Scholarship – Engineering
In collaboration with the Baja SAE club, this senior design team is tasked with designing and fabricating a Baja vehicle with the goal of competing with competitive success in a 2021-22 Baja SAE Collegiate Design Series competition. The project will include all aspects of the vehicle, including but not limited to: roll cage, suspension, steering/control, and drivetrain. Also, a goal of the project is to design the vehicle with the future AWD/4WD Baja requirement in mind, while making every effort to meet that goal for this upcoming Baja competition. The team will also manage the ONU Baja SAE Club which …
Automatic Tail-Cutter, Miles Hardesty, David Hutton, Kevin Vroman
Automatic Tail-Cutter, Miles Hardesty, David Hutton, Kevin Vroman
Student Scholarship – Engineering
The goal of this project is to design and test a universal ramp that guides runners into any size grinder that may be a short distance away from the press. Design consideration will be key to this project. It should be lightweight, easy to install, while considering other relevant design considerations as well. In addition, the universal ramp will need to be able to mount to any style press we have. The runners will vary in length and width, so the universal ramp will need to be able to change size to accommodate for the different sizes of runners.
Angle Iron Profile Rotator, Ethan Hodel, Dan Lahners, Gavin Muhlstadt
Angle Iron Profile Rotator, Ethan Hodel, Dan Lahners, Gavin Muhlstadt
Student Scholarship – Engineering
Design and validate a system that can rotate various angle iron profiles in a conveyor system. Angle irons are initially positioned with their longest leg resting on the conveyor system. It is needed to rotate it certain degrees until it forms the ^ shape. That is, the ends of the legs touch the conveyor system. The angle irons can be of different lengths (10’ to 40’). The design and validation must be done through engineering calculations (e.g., dynamical analysis and/or finite element analysis). Finally, a small-scale proof of concept is needed as a deliverable, in addition to the design and …

Student Scholarship – Engineering
The Village of Sanford, alongside the local chapter of Habitat for Humanity and volunteer committees of developers, are considering options to build back housing stock that was lost during the flooding. There are multiple potential lots in the Village that are being explored, with about 15-20 being potential sites to be investigated. Habitat for Humanity will facilitate the rebuilding of single family homes, but will need engineering expertise where it concerns the sanitation systems for multi-family homes, condos, townhomes, or potentially a senior center. There is no centralized wastewater system for the Village, so, engineering options would need to look …
Dewaxing Bulding Containment, Liam Gahan, Katarina Nikolic, Emily Ziemba
Dewaxing Bulding Containment, Liam Gahan, Katarina Nikolic, Emily Ziemba
Student Scholarship – Engineering
This project will be on the Nutrition and Health side of Kensing where we manufacture Vitamin E. The problem for the students to solve will be the lack of secondary containment for our dewaxing building. The building uses acetone to thin the vitamin E for filtering to remove pesticides. We used to have onsite waste treatment, so the acetone could go right to our process sewer, but the onsite waste treatment has since been removed. If acetone goes to the process sewer today (i.e. if a spill were to occur), we would be fined by the city. If we plug …
