Inverse Scattered Problems, Mikaela Coose Apr 2017

Inverse Scattered Problems, Mikaela Coose

Scholar Week 2016 - present

The research project involves the investigation of a signal processing based method for modeling and solving inverse scattering problems. Topics within the presentation may include, but not limited to: defining the problem, proposing a hypothesis, delineating research methods with computer modeling, revealing results of the conducted experiment as well as analysis of the final projected images. The goal of this research is to identify a resonance pattern for a target such as a square by sweeping the permittivity levels. Results include a visual table mapping each permittivity. Finally, a discussion of future experiments and real-world applications may be included in …

Olivet Robotics, Alberto Escobar-Ruiz, Samantha Mclain, Caleb Seaton, Andrew Tipton

Scholar Week 2016 - present

It is the task of the senior design team to develop a plan that will result in the design, building, and testing of a robot. Members of the Robotics Club describe the base, arm, and programming in their design.


Sae Baja - Front Suspension And Steering, Gabriel Brumm, Luke Lambert, John Saliba Apr 2017

Sae Baja - Front Suspension And Steering, Gabriel Brumm, Luke Lambert, John Saliba

Scholar Week 2016 - present

The SAE Baja Front Suspension Senior Design Team has successfully chosen a design alternative to build, test, and possibly revise as this project moves forward. The team learned about the problems that occurred with the steering and suspension systems last year at the SAE Baja competition from Dr. Allen and ONU Baja team members that attended competition last year (which includes senior design team member John Saliba). After understanding the failures that occurred last year, the design team set design goals with a focus on increased durability, increased driver control and vehicle handling, and reduced weight.


Sae Baja Data Acquisition System, Ryan Carl, Ryan Rose, Gabe Sevigny, Nathanael Smith Apr 2017

Sae Baja Data Acquisition System, Ryan Carl, Ryan Rose, Gabe Sevigny, Nathanael Smith

Scholar Week 2016 - present

The Olivet Nazarene University SAE Baja team designs a custom off-road vehicle every year to compete against teams from other schools at competitions throughout the year. The current car that the Baja team is working on needs some improvements, but they need some help gathering data to see where to make these improvements. In previous years, the Baja team would not have any feedback besides what they observed while driving, so this year they have tasked the SAE Baja Data Acquisition design group with the project of creating a sensor system and a data logging program to gather information that …


Webbworks Fatigue Testing Device, Bart Hoxworth, Nick Paquet, Colin Sheehan Apr 2017

Webbworks Fatigue Testing Device, Bart Hoxworth, Nick Paquet, Colin Sheehan

Scholar Week 2016 - present

WebbWorks has requested the design and fabrication of a pedaling fatigue testing device for bicycle frames. The testing device must meet the standard for testing methods outlined in EN 14764. This will help lower costs of frame development for WebbWorks, as well as reduce down time. This project is to be completed by May 2017.
