EE Capstone Projects for the Academic Year 2018 - 2019

UT Tyler Capstone Projects from Tyler and HEC ( 2018 - 2019)

• Project Title: IEEE Robotics
  
  Team Members:  David Archuleta, Nevid Harji, Andres Noyola, Bryce Sheffield
  Sponsor: IEEE.
  
  Faculty Advisor: Dr. Mukul Shirvaikar, Electrical Engineering
  
  Campus: Tyler
  
  Abstract: The goal of our Senior Design project was to compete in the IEEE R5 Regional Robotics competition held in Lafayette, LA on April 6.  In order to do this, we were required to construct a rover that would complete the preset tasks laid out by the competition committee. These tasks included the rover being fully autonomous, picking up lettered blocks A through F, avoiding dowel/ping-pong ball obstacles, and depositing the blocks in a mothership that contained receptacles with matching letters. Our end goal for the competition was to earn the most amount of points possible in the hopes of finishing in 1st place.

• Project Title: EasyYard: An IoT-based Smart Controller
  
  Team Members:  Maureen Mendez, Julian Carrillo, Oscar Martin, Claude Tchata
  
  Faculty Advisor: Dr. Prabha Sundaravadivel, Electrical Engineering
  
  Campus: Tyler
  
  Abstract: The EasyYard project is a product for the average consumer to provide remote access to electronics around their backyard without the need of a constant internet connection. The product is designed with scalability in mind for future expansion, from the communication protocols that are being used to the choice of micro-controllers, to run seamlessly and uninterrupted.

• Project Title: Skin Patch Watch (SPW)
  
  Team Members: Mohammed Alenazi, Jonathan Wells
  
  Faculty Advisor: Dr. Premananda Indic, Electrical Engineering
  
  Campus: Tyler
  
  Abstract: The Skin-Patch Watch has real-time clock and a timing/stopwatch function. SPW is a unique design which allows high mobility and body movement that is comfortable to wear and doesn’t irritate the skin of the users. Mainly targeted to athletes, both professional and amateur, it can be expanded to other public, such as the military or medical profession.
