Channels: Where Disciplines Meet
Drag reduction on an object subject to external flow remains a topic of interest due to a wide range of applications. Previous studies showed that grooves on the surface of a circular cylinder lead to drag reduction, which had thus been applied to save energy in various implementations. In the present study, the effects of longitudinal surface grooves with respect to drag reduction on circular and elliptical cylinders were experimentally explored through resin additive manufacturing and a wind tunnel. Significant drag reduction originated by surface grooves was observed. In conjunction with experimental investigations, numerical analyses were performed with computational fluid …

Autonomous Golf Cart, Anson Allard, Joel Beckmeyer, Emma Burgess, Daniel Garcia, Jacob Lysack, Daniel Parker
Scholars Symposium
Cedarville University’s Autonomous Golf Cart Senior Design Project’s mission is to provide engineering students with hands on experience with industry standard intelligent vehicle technologies, solve open-ended, multi-dimensional problems, and provide an autonomous transportation service to the greater campus community. Our autonomous technology will share the sidewalks; therefore, the public image of our autonomous routing service is critically linked with its technical performance. The autonomous golf cart has two major design areas: the cart’s hardware and its software. Within hardware, our team created functional braking and an H-Bridge for reversing. Within software, our team moved the codebase to a new software …

The project goal is to design a low cost prosthetic hand controlled by a PIC18F25K22 microcontroller that will allow the user to perform simple tasks that require a greater dexterity than what a mechanical prosthetic can deliver. The digits of the prosthetic will be contracted or relaxed using electromyographic signals measured by electrodes on a single muscle group. Grip settings, which define the open and closed position for each digit, are used for the control of the hand. This allows common actions, such as grabbing a door handle or pencil, to be accomplished with readings from one muscle group instead …

Access to the newest features of Virtual Reality headsets has become increasingly more accessible to student developers in recent years. Manufacturers are competing to support all available device features not just through their Software Development Kits (SDKs), but also integrated into industry-standard game engines. One particular feature, spatial sound, can now be deployed without directly accessing the SDK but instead modifying deployment settings and selecting checkboxes. This accessibility to new VR developers has opened up new opportunities for inter-disciplinary collaborations within constrained development cycles like an academic semester.
