Flat Plate Solar Collector For A Tiny Home, Clarice Leslie Nicholas
Flat Plate Solar Collector For A Tiny Home, Clarice Leslie Nicholas
Honors Projects
Pallet Shelter is a company that builds tiny houses for the homeless. We partnered with them to build a solar water heater for their homes so that their tenants can have hot running water. The collector panel sits on the roof of the shelter and absorbs the energy of the sun and uses it to heat water flowing through an array of copper pipes. The hot water is then stored in an insulated tank inside the shelter.

Personal Library Organization And Tracking Application (Plot), Katie Honsinger
Honors Projects
This project is inspired by my family's gloriously unmanageable book collection. Its primary goal is to provide a simple way to track your book collection, to avoid double-buying and help disorganized book-lovers everywhere stay sane! You can also track where a particular book is physically (or at least, where it should be!). There are a few features I'd still like to implement, but mainly I want this app to stay simple so it is easy to use and maintain.
A Consumer-Based Aquatic Trash Collecting Drone: A Engineering Design Case Study, Andrew C. Josselyn
A Consumer-Based Aquatic Trash Collecting Drone: A Engineering Design Case Study, Andrew C. Josselyn
Honors Projects
Trash is polluting our world’s oceans and water sources rapidly. Studies estimate about 8 million metric tons of plastic enter the oceans each year with 0.8 to 2.7 million metric tons entering through rivers. ARTEMIS is designed to help mitigate the influx of trash into the ocean by cleaning up trash in our local waterways. ARTEMIS is for drone enthusiasts, hobbyists, and those who are passionate about ocean cleanup. The purpose of designing a consumer-based device is to engage a wide range of people. Through the fun activity of collecting trash using ARTEMIS, we hope to spark people’s interest to …
Computer Vision Machine Learning And Future-Oriented Ethics, Abagayle Lee Blank
Computer Vision Machine Learning And Future-Oriented Ethics, Abagayle Lee Blank
Honors Projects
Computer Vision Machine Learning (CVML) in the application of facial recognition is currently being researched, developed, and deployed across the world. It is of interest to governments, technology companies, and consumers. However, fundamental issues remain related to human rights, error rates, and bias. These issues have the potential to create societal backlash towards the technology which could limit its benefits as well as harm people in the process. To develop facial recognition technology that will be beneficial to society in and beyond the next decade, society must put ethics at the forefront. Drawing on AI4People’s adaption of bioethics for AI, …
Machine Learning With Multi-Class Regression And Neural Networks: Analysis And Visualization Of Crime Data In Seattle, Erkin David George
Machine Learning With Multi-Class Regression And Neural Networks: Analysis And Visualization Of Crime Data In Seattle, Erkin David George
Honors Projects
This article examines the implications of machine learning algorithms and models, and the significance of their construction when investigating criminal data. It uses machine learning models and tools to store, clean and analyze data that is fed into a machine learning model. This model is then compared to another model to test for accuracy, biases and patterns that are detected in between the experiments. The data was collected from data.seattle.gov and was published by the City of Seattle Data Portal and was accessed on September 17, 2018. This research will be looking into how machine learning models can be used …
Wind Turbine Design: Analysis And Experimentation Of Electro-Magnetic Alternator Design, Mark Hans Ewald Steinke
Wind Turbine Design: Analysis And Experimentation Of Electro-Magnetic Alternator Design, Mark Hans Ewald Steinke
Honors Projects
This article explores the alternator designs for small scale wind turbines and the aspects that affect the performance of these alternators. It explores the design and testing process used to quantify, visualize, and understand the relationship between the wind turbine stator design and the performance. Additionally, the paper analyzes the data collection method using a test jig powered by a hydraulic motor set up by previous groups of students and the data intended to be collected using actual field tests on Whidbey Island located at Camp Casey. These tests were intended to identify favorable combinations of alternators and blades. However, …
How Useful Is Gsv As An Environmental Observation Tool? An Analysis Of The Evidence So Far., Katherine Nesse, Leah Airt
How Useful Is Gsv As An Environmental Observation Tool? An Analysis Of The Evidence So Far., Katherine Nesse, Leah Airt
SPU Works
Researchers in many disciplines have turned to Google Street View to replace pedestrian- or carbased in-person observation of streetscapes. It is most prevalent within the research literature on the relationship between neighborhood environments and public health but has been used as diverse as disaster recovery, ecology and wildlife habitat, and urban design. Evaluations of the tool have found that the results of GSV-based observation are similar to the results from in-person observation although the similarity depends on the type of characteristic being observed. Larger, permanent and discrete features showed more consistency between the two methods and smaller, transient and judgmental …
Smart Grid Technology In The Developing World, Jacob R. Young
Smart Grid Technology In The Developing World, Jacob R. Young
Honors Projects
A smart grid is the integration of communication and information technologies with contemporary power infrastructure to enhance load service and to incorporate continually evolving end-use applications. It is the latest advancement in the areas of power generation, transmission and distribution. It has advanced beyond the traditional grid structure at every stage; a smart grid is capable of incorporating distributed generation (DG) renewable sources and has improved transmission capabilities through implementation of technologies such as Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS). Through the addition of control technology in the distribution network a smart grid is able to implement “self-healing” and other methods …
Road Profile Sensor: A Detection Method For Active Suspension Systems, Matthew Edel
Road Profile Sensor: A Detection Method For Active Suspension Systems, Matthew Edel
Honors Projects
Abstract—Active suspension systems adjust the suspension components of an automobile to adapt to bumps or potholes that are encountered in the road as the vehicle is driving. These systems have the potential to improve safety, performance, and ride comfort in automobiles. An integral part of active suspension systems is a device to detect irregularities in the road. Current detection systems that are available lack either in precision, resolution, or speed. A senior design project, Dynamic Automatic Adjusting Suspension (DAAS), at Seattle Pacific University expressed a need for a high-performance road scanner that could be paired with their suspension system. The …
