Team Members Corey Gillsepie – Electrical Engineer Thomas Gomes – Electrical Engineer Henry Almiron – Mechanical Engineer Dirk Thur – Mechanical Engineer Jennifer Leone – Industrial Engineer Lawrence Hoffman – Electrical Engineer Angel Herrera – Electrical Engineer Saleh Zeidan – Mechanical Engineer

Problem Background • • Students in the Mechanical Engineering department currently take a sequence of experimental courses, one of which is MECE – 301 Engineering Applications Lab. The goal is to have a common lecture period for all sections, and then a weekly, simpler experiments that students will also run independently.

Problem Statement and Deliverables • • The purpose of this project is to design and produce a number of laboratory modules that will eventually be used in the engineering course MECE – 301 Engineering Applications Lab Three to four modules used to provide a set of advanced investigative scenarios that will be simulated by theoretical and/or computational methods.

Stakeholders • RIT ME students • RIT ME professors • MSD Team

Use Scenarios • • In the lab students will analyze a module which inspire an experiment which will include a theoretical, and experimental analysis of the module. After completing this experiment, the students should have a firmer grasp on basic engineering principles and processes.

Prioritized List of Needs • Requests 3 modules at minimum; 4 or 5 are preferred • Modules may be of different technical challenge and complexity • All modules must emphasize practical engineering experiences. • All modules should be interesting to the students • • • All modules should bridge applications areas, such as electromechanical or electrochemical All modules should use commercially-off-the-shelf equipment to enable maintenance and sustainability of module use over many semesters of student enjoyment At least one module should have analysis challenges that are at or beyond student learning from core coursework

Prioritized List of Needs cont. • • All modules should be able to be fully configured, utilized, and returned by student engineers All modules should be able to stand alone; they should contain everything they need without borrowing from other sources All modules should have a high level of flexibility and expansion allowing for many engineering opportunities All modules must be robust and safe
