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.
