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 …

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.”
