Undergraduate 2011 307 Formula SAE 308 Wireless Communications Enterprise 309 Alternative Fuels Group Enterprise Formula SAE team, February 2011 Our organization works to develop new technologies each semester, including this colored LED display. Team Leaders Andrew Rice and Shawn Range, Mechanical Engineering Advisor Dr. James De Clerck Sponsors Pi Shurlok, Delphi, L’Anse Manufacturing, Polaris, General Motors Foundation, 3M, Cummins, Ford Motor Company Fund, Oshkosh, ArcelorMittal, Alcoa, Mitsubishi Electric, ATI, Wind River, Extreme Tool & Engineering, Cass Polymers, USG, SC Enterprises, Demmer Corp., BAE Systems, Synerject, Stam Schaeffler Group, Wiseco Piston, Caterpillar, ICE, Timet, REL, Charles Korsch, Executive Auto Body, Tiry’s Race Engines, Digital Tool & Die, Andrew’s Cams, Parker Hannifin, LADD Industries, Goodyear, Warm Rain, Kvaser, Tribco, Laser North, Komo–Innovative, CNC Solution, Walbro, State Electronics, Fine Line Tire, Fastenal, GS Engineering, Mercury Marine, Car Quest, and Lakehead Clutch and Brake Project Overview As part of Formula SAE, more than 120 teams from universities around the world build a formulastyle race car to compete in both static and dynamic events at the annual world competition held in Michigan. Team Leaders Nick Bedbury and Robert VanSelus, Electrical Engineering Advisor Christopher Cischke, Electrical and Computer Engineering Sponsors Fulton Innovation and Boston Scientific Project Overview We focus on wireless, optical, and biomedical technology, as well as renewable energy, lasers, FPGA prototyping, wind/solar power, PCB design, and embedded systems programming. We operate as a think tank for companies looking to push their product lines to a higher level. Members work as entrepreneurs, taking our own ideas to a level where they can be useful for industry and consumers alike. We are always looking for sponsors to challenge us with projects. Our members come from many majors including electrical, computer, biomedical, mechanical, scientific and technical communication, and business. Two members of the shell team work on shaping the foam plug of the scale model, which was used to model the shell and determine final curvatures. Team Leaders Sean Baker, Materials Science and Engineering, and Britta Guse, Chemical Engineering Advisor Dr. Jason Keith, Chemical Engineering Sponsors Dow Corning, 3M, and Keweenaw Research Center Project Overview We are committed to providing viable solutions to real-world energy problems. We currently have five active projects: direct methanol fuel cell production facility; solid oxide fuel cell cogeneration, biodiesel production for street sweeper, solar car, and stationary solar energy analysis. 24 • Undergraduate Expo 2011
Enterprise Teams 310 Efficiency through Engineering and Construction Enterprise 311 SAE Clean Snowmobile Team 312 Integrated Microsystems Enterprise ETEC students are braving cold wet weather to cut and install paneling for a family in need. We specialize in controlling macro systems with microcontrollers such as our motion simulator. A Clean Snowmobile Team member tunes an engine on our dyno stand. Team Leaders Dianna Cacko and Alicia Haydamack, Construction Management Advisor Lynn Artman, Construction Management Sponsors Ford Motor Company Fund, Ford College Community Challenge Grant, and Energy Works of Michigan Project Overview Our goal is to increase the awareness and application of sustainable practices and energy efficiency in the built environment. We increase awareness by educating high school students through interactive, in-class presentations and also by including high school students in our volunteer work out in the field with low income families in need of home winterization. We strive to increase the application of sustainable practices by designing energy-efficient homes for our local chapter of Habitat for Humanity. Team Leaders Casey Anderson and Lauren Nasca, Mechanical Engineering Advisor Dr. Jason R. Blough, Mechanical Engineering– Engineering Mechanics Sponsor General Motors Foundation, 3M, Chrysler, DENSO, Alcoa, ArcelorMittlal, Cummins, Ford Motor Company Fund, and Polaris Industries Project Overview We compete annually in the Clean Snowmobile Challenge against teams from other universities all around the world. We must engineer and construct a clean, quiet, and efficient internal combustion engine that can run on “flex-fuel.” This sled will be tested on its acceleration, handling, emissions, noise, fuel economy, and endurance. Also, a new challenge for this year is to construct an electric snowmobile that is capable of running for extended ranges while pulling loads, without having to be recharged. Team Leaders Nicholas Oberski and Jared Julien, Electrical Engineering Advisors Dr. Paul Bergstrom and Dr. Christopher Middlebrook, Electrical and Computer Engineering Sponsor Kimberly-Clark Project Overview We specialize in programming microcontrollers to control and monitor a larger system, which can be anything from a tank simulator to the human body. We also focus on getting youth interested in science, technology, engineering, and math through experiments and demonstrations. Enterprise Teams 2011 • 25
