Smart Coffee Table, Matthew Owens
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
This report documents the process I followed while working on my senior design project. It includes how I decided to build a Smart Coffee Table, my engineering process, the design of all features and mechanical components, relevant research necessary to complete the project, the performance of the structures, the methods for controlling and powering the table, and any problems along the way. Over the course of the last two semesters, I learned valuable lessons pertaining to working on a project from start to finish as an individual rather than in a group.

The University of Akron Human Powered Vehicle Team’s 2016 vehicle, Klokan, was designed, manufactured and tested with safety, reliability, performance and ease of use in mind. The vehicle is a fully faired tadpole trike with a lightweight aluminum frame constructed from 6061-T6 tubing having a total weight of 8.9 lbs. To complement the lightweight frame, the fairing is constructed from polycarbonate, PETG and carbon fiber strips which combine into a lightweight, easy to manufacture weather barrier and aerodynamic structure. Klokan was designed to be a safe and efficient mode of everyday transportation which ensures that riders are sufficiently protected by …
