RICHLAND, Wash. โ A self-driving fuel-cell car, a prosthetic arm and a solar-powered hot water heater are among the 14 projects that will be showcased during the 2016 Washington State University Tri-Cities Engineering and Computer Science Senior Design Expo at 5 p.m. Tuesday, April 26, in the West Atrium.
Students will present real-world projects they spent the school year researching, designing and developing. Members of the community are invited to attend give their feedback to the students.
โEach of these projects began as an idea enriched by considerable enthusiasm and compelling vision,โ said Joseph Iannelli, ฮ็านพ็ณก executive director of engineering and computer science. โThrough teamwork, diligence and expert mentorship, these students successfully completed innovative projects that are fully anticipated to make a real-world impact soon.โ
Other projects include a pedestrian bridge for Badger Mountain Trail, design for a new engineering building, cloud-based decision support and data integration for precision agriculture and an optimized TiLite wheelchair.
