Identifying Key Activity Indicators In Rats' Neuronal Data Using Lasso Regularized Logistic Regression, Avery Woods
Identifying Key Activity Indicators In Rats' Neuronal Data Using Lasso Regularized Logistic Regression, Avery Woods
Honors Theses
This thesis aims to identify timestamps of rats’ neuronal activity that best determine behavior using a machine learning model. Neuronal data is a complex and high-dimensional dataset, and identifying the most informative features is crucial for understanding the underlying neuronal processes. The Lasso regularization technique is employed to select the most relevant features of the data to the model’s prediction. The results of this study provide insights into the key activity indicators that are associated with specific behaviors or cognitive processes in rats, as well as the effect that stress can have on neuronal activity and behavior. Ultimately, it was …
The Take It All Tailgate Wagon: From Concept Through Prototype Development, Carly Huguley
The Take It All Tailgate Wagon: From Concept Through Prototype Development, Carly Huguley
Honors Theses
This text outlines the design process of the Take it All Tailgate from concept design through two prototyping stages. The Take it All Tailgate was designed for the every gameday tailgater who has a lot of tailgating equipment to haul from their vehicle to the tailgating area. With this in mind, a team of five members designed a wheeled storage space that also acts as a table in the tailgating area. Lean manufacturing was implemented to improve the build process and the overall design of the storage wagon.
Product Realization Capstone: Element Proof Safety Steps For Willie Price Lab School, Catherine Thomas, Allan Heuerman, Jared Mumme
Product Realization Capstone: Element Proof Safety Steps For Willie Price Lab School, Catherine Thomas, Allan Heuerman, Jared Mumme
Honors Theses
The purpose of this document is to describe the process we took to complete our capstone which paired the Center for Manufacturing Excellence with the Willie Price Lab School. The goal of the capstone was to remake step stools for the students of Willie Price, as the last stools failed to withstand weather damage. However, with the COVID-19 pandemic, plans were hindered, shifting the goal from actually producing the steps to creating instructions so that a younger Center for Manufacturing class could complete the production at a later date. Standardized Work Instructions, a detailed production plan, and engineering drawings were …
Controller And Headset Stand: Designing And Manufacturing, Tyler Butler, Chad Gutierrez
Controller And Headset Stand: Designing And Manufacturing, Tyler Butler, Chad Gutierrez
Honors Theses
This report shows how our Senior Center for Manufacturing Excellence team took our product, a controller and headset stand, from an idea into a mass producible product. We first identified the problem of headphones and controller storage and sought to solve it through our product design. Market research was performed to ensure that this would be a successful product in today’s marketplace. The trials of prototypes demonstrated what features could and could not be implemented into the design of the product. The group then designed a manufacturing plan for the product and found the projected market for the product. This …
