Process Improvement Of Honeysuckle Biscuits And Bakery, Jevon Franklin, Kaela Bellamy, Manuel Quintal, Suheyl Polat
Senior Design Project For Engineers
Honeysuckle Biscuits and Bakery is a locally owned restaurant in Downtown Kennesaw, Georgia. Mitch and Lori Phillips, the owners, opened the restaurant in 2018. The restaurant serves breakfast (with biscuits as its specialty), lunch, coffee, desserts, and specialty cakes. As the business is beginning to outgrow itself, the project manager, Kaela Bellamy, felt it was a need to look at how to best accommodate the growing demand within the new space.

Lupa: An Excursion Vehicle For The Moons Of Mars, Shannon Kavanagh, Bo Lewis, Alex Odinamba, Joshua Mulhern
Senior Design Project For Engineers
Our team has designed a spacecraft and mission for exploring the moons of Mars. The Lithological and Ultraviolet Photometry Assessment (LUPA) excursion vehicle is capable of crew habitation, autonomous rendezvous, and in-vacuum sample collection all in support of a parallel Mars surface mission to be carried out in the year 2040. Our project's key focus areas revolve around orbital mechanics, space vehicle propulsion analysis, scientific exploration, and the management of various interconnected spacecraft subsystems.

Workflow Optimization Of World Micro, Inc. Quality Department, Nicholas Ricci, Rosa Lopez Gomez, Darius Ruffin, Josh Fennell
Senior Design Project For Engineers
Our group member Nick is currently an intern at World Micro, which is an electronic components distributor for companies manufacturing a variety of commercial, aerospace and military products. When electrical components are purchased from the open market, they need to be traced back to the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) or have a series of tests performed to verify that the parts are authentic and work. The current process time for World Micro’s quality testing and inspection is not efficient causing long lead times, extra work hours, and extra expenses in outsourcing services.

Flying Wing Uav For Surveillance And Object Tracking, Kristen Padgett, Scott Semmelink, Jared Lasley, Paul Horne
Senior Design Project For Engineers
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have become ubiquitous in recent years due to their adaptability and ease of use. Surveillance UAVs in particular have seen increased interest and usage by law enforcement, civilian security, surveying, and federal services. The increased interest has led to the development of UAVs with increased endurance and payload capacity. Further as many of the applications of surveillance drones involve heightened security requirements, an aircraft of domestic make is preferential to many organizations. With this demand in mind, Inspired Products, LLC put forth a request for assistance in the design and testing of a surveillance UAV. More …

Six Sigma Process Improvement For Ksu Mailroom, Raven Pierson, Kailyn Mcleod, Brett Teems, Gabi Tawil
Senior Design Project For Engineers
The Kennesaw State University mailroom on the Marietta Campus is utilized by faculty and students to receive letter mail alongside packages that are delivered directly to the university. The team decided to enhance the mailroom and their way of processing mail and serving their customers. For the best interest of the mailroom, the team went on to implement a Locker System, Appointment/ Card Reader System, as well as office space improvements guided by the Lean Six Sigma concept of 6s. As a result of putting forward these ideals, it was apparent that students and faculty were supportive of the Locker …

Senior Design Project For Engineers
“The Carrier Company” is a service that delivers motorcycle parts all over South East, US. They have over 38 routes that each have a driver designated to deliver products to their clients twice a day. The majority of the company’s time and expenses are focused on the delivery of the products to their respected clients. Recently, due to COVID-19, the Carrier Company has had a number of issues with new drivers not knowing the routes and in turn taking too long to deliver the products. The Carrier Company has asked Team Dive Fast to work on developing a program that …

Optimized Automated Checkout Process For Major Food Retailers, Matthew Ritchie, Tiana Longino, Daniel Garza, Alp Katranci
Optimized Automated Checkout Process For Major Food Retailers, Matthew Ritchie, Tiana Longino, Daniel Garza, Alp Katranci
Senior Design Project For Engineers
There has been a push for automation in countless industries to save time and money, increase customer satisfaction, increase customer purchasing options, increase efficiency, and reduce waste. This design project will focus on optimizing the automated checkout process at major grocery retailers. The goal of the design is to reduce customer wait times at the checkout line, thus increasing customer satisfaction and save the retailer cashier expenses. The design was created using the DMAIC (define, measure, analyze, improve, control) process tool. Customers were surveyed to define if there was a problem, and 52.5% of customers felt the wait times at …

Project Blipper, Peter Jacobs, Preston Delaware, Ryan Foster
Senior Design Project For Engineers
This project was sponsored by Clorox to design and create an automatic bottle-unscrambling system for possible implementation at their bottling plant in Chile. The objective was to use a robotic arm to unscramble bottles from an incoming conveyor belt and place them upright on an outbound conveyor belt. Throughout the research, design, and testing of solutions for this project, several design alternatives were found for each discipline, and will be presented to Clorox so that they can make an informed decision for how and if they want to move forward with implementation of this project.
The project was split into …

Kennesaw State University And United Alloy Corporation Robotic Pick And Place Project, Kathryn Bharadwaj, Logan Spencer, Tharkun Hudlow
Senior Design Project For Engineers
United Alloy Corporation (UAC), a company specializing in unique aluminum parts for aeronautics, needed a fix to their error prone, labor-intensive billet press operation. The process has a problem of adding the wrong size or wrong alloy billet to the induction oven, which results in a waste of raw materials. The billets range from ten to thirty-seven inches in length and weigh up to three hundred pounds. Currently, an operator uses a gantry crane to check and lift the billets from a rack onto the magazine of an induction oven. The magazine can hold up to three billets safely and …
