Using Susprog 3D and kinematic analysis, chassis pickup points and linkage geometry were optimized for the 10” wheels. The full vertical travel and steering behavior of the wheels was analyzed. Designs were developed for the uprights, brake rotors, …

Tracked Electric Vehicle To Access Backcountry Ski Trails, Adam Alto, Mccoy Buchsteiner, Remi Kauderer, Kolbe Shannon, Ryan Tanski

ENGS 89/90 Reports

Long, low-angle approaches in backcountry skiing substantially limit the terrain that can be accessed in a single day. Snowmobiles remain the primary motorized solution but are difficult to transport and pose needless risk to the user, other recreationists, and the environment. Other options fall short of the portability, cost-effectiveness, or flexibility necessary to solve this problem. To address this gap, we refined a compact, battery-powered electric vehicle to aid skiers in efficiently reaching backcountry trails. Our prototype keeps the backcountry skier on their skis as a wheel behind them propels them forward. The prototype previously developed by our sponsors encountered …

Safe Charging Locker For E-Bike Batteries, Grace Connolly, Gannon Forsberg, Nathan Mcallister, Avery Moorhead

ENGS 89/90 Reports

As the e-Bike market continues to grow without effective standardization, fatal battery fires (especially among cheaper alternative products) have become increasingly common. Dartmouth College (and many universities nationally) prohibit unsupervised indoor charging of e-Bikes without offering suitable alternative charging solutions. Enter the Fire-Safe e-Bike Charging Locker, which provides a safe charging location for e-Bike batteries. Targeting academic institutions and shared housing communities as buyers, the locker provides peace of mind and reduced insurance rates due to decreased safety risks. The locker prevents these fires through use of a thermal infrared camera, which detects abnormal increases in battery temperature before they …

Small Scale Aluminum Anodizing, Neo Cai, Ava Jacques, Taneem Sayed, Gabby Walsh

ENGS 89/90 Reports

Anodization is a crucial process of the aluminum manufacturing process that makes aluminum products more durable while also enabling customization with colored anodized dyes. However, for small scale aluminum manufacturers, anodizing is largely inaccessible. Existing solutions either involve outsourcing to large automated warehouses or manually anodizing by hand, both of which suffer from prohibitive disadvantages. Large warehouses are automated but, because they require shipping products and require batches of parts far greater than normal for small scale manufacturers, they have long lead times and are prohibitively costly. Conversely, anodizing by hand is faster and cheaper, but the manual labor required …

Subzero Systems Hyperlocal Weather Monitoring And Alert System, Evana Amok, Joshua Vorbrich, Erin Bae, Khanh Le, Chingpheng Phoun, Vuthy Vincent Vey

ENGS 89/90 Reports

Accurate, hyperlocal weather data is critical for effective winter weather management. However, the Dartmouth campus’s current solutions often lack the precision for optimal ice treatment. This results in excessive and uneven salting practices, leading to increased worker and student injuries, financial and laborious burdens, and environmental damage caused by runoff. To tackle these challenges, our team has developed a comprehensive system. The system integrates hyperlocal weather station data, a peer-reviewed ice prevention optimization formula, and a machine learning model to generate intuitive salt usage recommendations and precise ice formation forecasts. The deliverables include an integrated system featuring functional weather data …

Safer, More Useable 3d Printers For Schools, Maeve Conneely, Lauren Kidman, George Richards, Josh Meise, Suzan Eskalen

ENGS 89/90 Reports

With recent technological advances, 3D printing has become widely accessible. This has allowed for greater ease in producing and obtaining machine gun conversion devices (MCDs). MCDs have the capacity to turn semi-automatic rifles and handguns into fully automatic machine guns. Even though it is illegal to print, own, or sell MCDs, print files for these devices are freely available on file sharing websites and easy to produce via 3D printing. It naturally follows that this increase in access to MCDs increases the potential risk for mass shootings. Additionally, 3D printing technologies are becoming increasingly prevalent in educational settings, such as …

Mindfulness in Homeless Women Experiencing Anxiety

Half of Washington's homeless population resides in Seattle, King County (Axios, 2024). In response, seven Seattle Pacific University nursing students conducted an assessment on homeless women in Seattle. Partnering with a women’s day center, we assessed their health needs and barriers as part of a nursing leadership project. Through activities like bingo, we aimed to build trust and surveyed the women and staff on health concerns. Our findings revealed chronic anxiety as a key issue, leading to underutilization of health resources. Such resources include a mobile emergent dental van that previous nursing students earned …

Pols 3014w Research Strategies In Public Policy, Sevdenur Koru

Open Educational Resources

Anthropological, psychological, political, social, and economic arguments and knowledge frequently depend on the use of numerical data. An anthropologist might examine how population differences in genes explain population differences in health outcomes; a psychologist might hypothesize that I.Q. is attributable to environmental or genetic factors; a politician might claim that handgun control legislation will reduce crime; a sociologist might assert that social mobility is more limited in the United States than in other countries, and an economist might declare that globalization lowers the incomes of U.S. workers. How can we evaluate these issues and arguments? Using examples from anthropology, psychology, …

Mathematics And Determinism: Chaos, Quantum Mechanics, And The Limits Of Predictive Structure, Jackson T. Salumbides

CMC Senior Theses

This thesis examines the relationship between mathematics and determinism by analyzing how chaos theory, quantum mechanics, and formal mathematical limits challenge traditional conceptions of predictability and causal structure. Chaos theory shows that deterministic systems can exhibit practical unpredictability due to sensitivity to initial conditions. Quantum mechanics introduces probabilistic outcomes that complicate deterministic interpretation, though alternative frameworks such as Bohmian mechanics and superdeterminism attempt to restore determinism at conceptual cost. Additionally, results from mathematical logic, including Gödel’s incompleteness theorems and Turing’s undecidability, demonstrate intrinsic limitations on what can be deduced or computed, even in fully deterministic systems. By synthesizing these areas, …

Smart Qos-Aware Resource Management For Edge Intelligence Systems, Minoo Hosseinzadeh

Theses and Dissertations--Computer Science

There are several definitions for Smart Cities. One common key point of these definitions is that smart cities are technologically advanced cities which connect everything in a complex urban environment including infrastructure, information, and even people to cope with the crucial problems linked with the urban life such as traffic, pollution, city crowding, health, and poverty. Central to this vision are the Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data, where interconnected devices with sensors collect vast amounts of data for informed decision-making. However, the rapid expansion of IoT devices challenges efficient data processing while meeting diverse Quality-of-Service (QoS) requirements; for …

Temporal Team Formation Games With Dynamic Preferences, Cameron Egbert

Theses and Dissertations--Computer Science

In the professional world, it is imperative for management entities to allocate their human resources to a work schedule, and such models of coalition formation games are well-studied. However, most existing literature only considers coalition formation in the context of a single moment in time, without accounting for changing preferences among individuals as they work together. The primary contribution of this thesis is a new team formation game that incorporates skill-based team formation and a dynamic variant of Additively Separable Hedonic Games. These Temporal Team Formation Games with Dynamic Preferences (TTFG-DPs) allow for two psychologically common preference dynamics: a preference …
