213 Wireless Communication Enterprise 214 Blizzard Baja Enterprise 215 Advanced Metalworks Enterprise Working on the Intelligent Ground Vehicle, members of different teams help to come up with the best solutions! Clockwise—top-right: Data Acquisition, Modular Front Suspension, and Variable Center-to-Center CVT transmission. AME team members in the foundry, carefully pour an iron casting. Team Leaders Mivil Abraham, Electrical Engineering, and Emily Raffa, Computer Engineering Advisor Christopher Cischke, Electrical and Computer Engineering Sponsors Fulton Innovation, Esys Automation, Dr. Robert Carnahan, Boston Scientific, Chrysler Project Overview The goal of Wireless Communication Enterprise (WCE) is to: 1) Develop a student-owned culture that fosters high professional standards, mutual respect, creativity, productivity, effective personal communication, and a burning desire to learn; 2) Create projects that advance the communication industry and that generate an intense learning environment for Michigan Tech students. We intend for our graduates to be ready for the most challenging careers as they complete this Enterprise. Team Leaders Joseph DeHaan, Andrew Glaeser, Brett Schulte and Matt Rebandt, Mechanical Engineering Advisor Dr. Brett Hamlin, Engineering Fundamentals Sponsors Alcoa, ArcelorMittal USA, Chrysler, Cummins, General Motors Foundation, 3M, Ford Motor Company Fund, Oshkosh Corporation, Deere Foundation, DENSO North America Foundation, Mitsubishi Electric Project Overview This year the Blizzard Baja Enterprise is working on three projects. The modular front suspension project features a removable module that will reduce repair time and give material flexibility, while maintaining the ease of manufacturability and the low cost of the traditional suspension. The variable center-to-center drivetrain project focuses on enabling the distance between the primary and secondary clutches in the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) to change. This allows for a greater shift range which can raise or lower the overall gear ratio. The final project focuses on data acquisition: collecting data on suspension travel and rotational speeds of the clutches. Team Leaders Zac Dvorak and Matt Dazell, Mechanical Engineering Advisor Dr. Paul Sanders, Materials Science and Engineering Sponsors ArcelorMittal USA, EJ, GE Aviation, ThyssenKrupp Waupaca, Eastern Alloys Project Overview We focus on production of high-quality metal products and development of precision processes and methods for our industrial sponsors. We are a diverse group of business majors, as well as mechanical, chemical, and materials science engineers, and are always looking for new members. AME has increased productivity and the expediency of completed projects. We strive to expand beyond traditional manufacturing to increase the quality of our products and results to better satisfy our sponsors and customers. 28 • Undergraduate Expo 2012
Enterprise Teams 216 Consumer Products Manufacturing Enterprise (CPM) 217 CinOptic Communication 218 Green Campus Enterprise The design team dissects a commercial shipping container to test material properties. The Cin/Optic Communication and Media Enterprise offers professional film, photography, and audio services to clients across the county. Students collecting data from an anemometer to determine if wind power is a viable option for Tech. Team Leaders Robert Parker and Pat Sommers, Chemical Engineering Advisors Dr. Tony Rogers and Dr. Sean Clancey, Chemical Engineering Sponsors Dow Corning, Bob Carnahan, nanoMAG, Village of Lake Linden Project Overview Consumer Products Manufacturing (CPM) Enterprise is a student-led organization run like a small business. In CPM, multidisciplinary teams of students work to create innovative product and process solutions that address the needs of commercial and governmental sponsors. Projects are aimed at increasing an existing product’s profitability or market potential, solving process bottlenecks, and creating new or improved products. Working with a variety of clients allows students to develop outstanding teamwork and communication skills. CPM students are currently designing a hydroponics system for fresh produce in the UP, creating sports protective equipment with new materials, developing alternate bulk shipping methods for Dow Corning, and optimizing large-scale manufacturing processes. With many leadership opportunities, fantastic advisors, and the help of top companies, CPM gives students experiences that will help them succeed in industry after graduation. Team Leader Nathan Hunter and Jess Banda, Humanities Advisor Dr. Erin Smith, Humanities Sponsor BHK Child Development Board Project Overview We supply communication services in the form of video, audio, and web to clients. Team Leaders Sarah McCauley, Environmental Engineering, and Andy McKenzie, Construction Management Advisor Dr. Christopher Wojick, Civil and Environmental Engineering Sponsor Michigan Technological University Project Overview The Green Campus Enterprise works to make the campus more sustainable through both low- and high-profile projects. We are collaborating with University personnel on many of our projects and gaining professional experience and leadership skills. Enterprise Teams 2012 • 29
