Mems 411 Senior Design: Wind Powered Walking Robot, Timothy J. Elliott, Kenna Middleton, Jose Rodes
Mechanical Engineering Design Project Class
Build a ‘Machine That Walks’ using leg like linkages that is only powered by wind. It must walk a minimum of 4 meters to prove that it is capable of walking and at least half of the materials used must be recyclable or reusable within the greater St. Louis area. The machine must not exceed 10 kg and must fit in the volume of 30 cm x 60 cm x 40 cm and must be unable to be easily knocked over.

Mechanical Engineering Design Project Class
Our design problem was to create a solar radiation tracking device. The primary goal of this device was to keep a solar panel perpendicular to the solar radiation with 95% efficiency throughout the day. The tracker had to be able to account for the sun’s seasonal angle in St. Louis, and the design would be even better if it could account for the sun’s seasonal angle at any latitude. Another important aspect of the solar tracker design was that it must be able to reset itself each day for the sunrise without human input. Other aspects to consider were weatherproofing …

Treadle Driven Lathe, Eleanor B. Mullard, Daniel Kronthal, Aaron Cohn, Robert Borovsky
Mechanical Engineering Design Project Class
The main objective of this senior design project was to design and build a treadle-driven, metal-cutting lathe that has the ability to cut 3/4" diameter material and produce small parts up to 3" long. The main challenge in this project was to successfully generate enough power through the treadle driven system to successfully cut metal at the proper specifications, while simultaneously meeting all of the user-needs. The entire system needed to be operated and pedaled by a single person, which put constraints on the location of the treadle relative to the lathe itself so the user could comfortably operate both …

Orthopedic Screwdriver Design, Tiffany M. Ewing, Ryan F. Blumenstein, Beenish Qayum
Mechanical Engineering Design Project Class
Design an adjustable mechanical clutch screwdriver suitable for driving Orthopedic Screws into bones. The clutch would prevent over tightening and damaging bone material. The prototype design must demonstrate the function and ergonomics of the device and it must be suitable for modification into a medical device. Specify material changes and design details that would be needed for the ultimate production model.
