NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Vanderbilt engineering seniors will strut their stuff Tuesday, April 27, during the School of Engineering "Senior Design Day."
About 50 projects will be displayed and demonstrated, ranging from a Pringles-can sorter to a neonatal breathing apparatus, from 3:30-5:30 p.m. in Vanderbilt’s Featheringill Hall Atrium. The design projects were selected by teams of seniors and sponsored by a variety of Middle Tennessee companies and agencies. The seniors met with their sponsoring companies to select a problem of interest to the company and worked throughout the year to design solutions.
Senior Design Day, which showcases the solutions and prototypes the seniors built, is open to the public.
Other projects include:
* Mouse exercise monitoring system (sponsored by Dr. Mike McDonald)
* Traffic analysis of intersection improvements on Edmonson Pike (sponsored by AMEC Engineering)
* Hydra 70 missile system redesign (sponsored by U.S. Army AMCOM, Huntsville)
* "Walker-Lifter" to assist disabled getting out of chair (sponsored by MicroNova Technology)
* Composite can sorter (sponsored by Proctor and Gamble/Pringles)
* Automated single-strand dental floss dispenser (sponsored by Vanderbilt Medical Center)
