College Of Engineering Senior Design Competition Fall 2016, University Of Nevada, Las Vegas
College Of Engineering Senior Design Competition Fall 2016, University Of Nevada, Las Vegas
Fred and Harriet Cox Senior Design Competition Projects
Part of every UNLV engineering student’s academic experience, the senior design project stimulates engineering innovation and entrepreneurship. Each student in their senior year chooses, plans, designs, and prototypes a product in this required element of the curriculum. A capstone to the student’s educational career, the senior design project encourages the student to use everything learned in the engineering program to create a practical, real world solution to an engineering challenge. The senior design competition helps focus the senior students in increasing the quality and potential for commercial application for their design projects. Judges from local industry evaluate the projects on …

Training Graduate Engineering Students In Ethics, Mohamed Trabia, Julie A. Longo, Susan Wainscott
Library Faculty Presentations
The Howard R. Hughes College of Engineering at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas embarked on providing ethics instruction to incoming graduate students in the form of a mandatory workshop. The College has a diverse graduate student population, including a sizable international component, who are enrolled in several M.S. and Ph.D. degree programs within four departments. Faculty felt that training in ethics was needed to better prepare incoming students for successful graduate studies and working professionally after graduation. Therefore, a standalone workshop was developed that covered four major topics: Research Ethics, Computer Coding Ethics, Publishing Ethics, and Intellectual Property. The …
Identification Of Streamflow Changes Across The Continental United States Using Variable Record Lengths, Kazi Tamaddun, Ajay Kalra, Sajjad Ahmad
Identification Of Streamflow Changes Across The Continental United States Using Variable Record Lengths, Kazi Tamaddun, Ajay Kalra, Sajjad Ahmad
Civil and Environmental Engineering and Construction Faculty Research
The study focused on investigating the presence of change patterns in 600 unimpaired streamflow stations across the continental U.S. at different time intervals to understand the change patterns that can provide significant insight regarding climate variability and change. Each station had continuous streamflow data of at least 30 years (the entire dataset covered a range of 109 years). Presence of trends and shifts were detected in water year and the four seasons (fall, winter, spring, and summer) analyzing the water year and seasonal mean flows. Two non-parametric tests, namely, the Mann-Kendall test and the Pettitt’s test were used to identify …

What Is Light Rail And How Can It Benefit Las Vegas?, Robert E. Lang
What Is Light Rail And How Can It Benefit Las Vegas?, Robert E. Lang
Brookings Scholar Lecture Series
Brookings Mountain West will lead an analysis of selected rail transportation systems in place and under construction throughout the United States, with an emphasis on the development of light rail systems in America's western cities. The implications for developing a light rail system in the Las Vegas Valley, including the impact on traffic congestion, environmental conditions, and the larger metropolitan economy will be explored. In addition, Keolis, a rail and transit operator in the United States and Canada, will be available to discuss the light rail option from a technological perspective. This summit is brought to you by Brookings Mountain …
Remote Sensing Of Neutron And Gamma Radiation Using Aerial Unmanned Autonomous System, Alex Barzilov, Jessica Hartman, Ivan Novikov
Remote Sensing Of Neutron And Gamma Radiation Using Aerial Unmanned Autonomous System, Alex Barzilov, Jessica Hartman, Ivan Novikov
Graduate & Professional Student Association Research Forum
With the continuing advancement of nuclear technologies, the detection and identification of radioactive material is a necessary part of commercial and government applications. There is a wide array of options available for detection and identification of material, but most rely on compact devices which are manually positioned. The deployment of robots equipped with detection equipment is not always feasible, especially in locations where there is considerable debris on the ground, or where there are low clearance areas. To solve this, the goal of this research was to design a remote sensing system for radiation using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). A …

The purpose of this study is to determine the basic device characteristics from the Current-Voltage curve of perovskite photovoltaic cells. Martin Green’s “Solar cell efficiency tables (Version 45)” highlighted the accomplishments in photovoltaic cell research for the year 2015. One notable achievement was done by KRICT using perovskites to achieve a 20.1% efficiency. According to Wall Street Journal article “Perovskite Offers Shot at Cheaper Solar Energy”, Ulicia Wang (2014) reports that perovskites have “achieved a jump in efficiency to 20% from around 10% just two years ago.”
Feature Coverage Indexes For Dual Homography Estimation In Constructing Panorama Image, Kyungkoo Jun, Si Kim
Feature Coverage Indexes For Dual Homography Estimation In Constructing Panorama Image, Kyungkoo Jun, Si Kim
Civil and Environmental Engineering and Construction Faculty Research
Enlarged images can be obtained by various methods. Stitching is one of the efficient methods. It can produce panoramic images by stitching adjacent images which contain overlapping regions even though they are obtained through separate image sensors. Images that contain multiple different planes are hard to be stitched together because each plane has a different homography matrix for perspective warping. For this, a dual homography was proposed. However its performance varies depending on feature detectors which are used to find matching feature points between images. In this paper, we propose three feature coverage indexes which evaluate the stitching performance of …
