School of Mechatronic Systems Engineering
Fourth-year mechatronics student showcase innovative Capstone projects in action
Last Friday, the School of Mechatronic Systems Engineering (MSE) brought innovation in action to the spotlight, where fourth-year students presented their eight-month projects at the Capstone Project Showcase.
Instructed by Professor Farid Golnaraghi, the day highlighted students' prototypes ranging from areas such as healthcare and assistive technologies, autonomous systems that enhance users' life quality, smart agritech instrastrucutre. Working from early concepts to an actual product, students applied technical knowledge and hands-on experiences gained throughout their degree to address real-world engineering challenges.
As a culminating experience of the MSE undergraduate program, the Capstone Project gives students the opportunity to bring engineering design, teamwork, project management and creative problem-solving together beyond academic settings and prepare them for their future careers.
LEARN ABOUT SOME OF THE INNOVATIVE PROJECTS
Atmosense 鈥� Drone-Based Aerial CO2 Analysis System for Precision Farming (Korea/Taiwan project)
Best Overall Project
Sponsor: Dr. Woo Soo Kim, 51猎奇入口International
Team member: John Alexander, Ali Ismail, Denson Garcia, Shervin Nabavi, Rami AI-Hanna
To support sustainable and precise farming practices, the team is developing a drone-based system that monitors CO鈧� levels in real time. Equipped with a gas sensor and GPS tracking system, the drone can map emission hotspots and coolect air quality data across farms. By analyzing the data and ensuring accruate predictions, it helps improve future crop management and support climate-smart agriculture process.
Lenz 鈥� Smart Glasses as a Platform for Real-Time Run Coaching
Best Industry Sponsored Project
Sponsor: FORM Swim
Team member: Zakhar Vozovik, Nikita Eliasov, Emiliano Cigarroa aguilar, Laith Allawy
To enhance running experience and performance, the team explores how AI- and AR-powered smart glasses can support runners by capturing motion data and translating it into real-time performance insights. Using head movement to estimate metrics such as cadence, stride length and speed, the system provides continuous feedback that can help runners adjust their form and technique without relying on wrist-worn devices.
Acculux 鈥� Development of a Pressure and Navigation System For Nirscan Probe for Breast Cancer Detection
Best Academic Sponsored Project
Sponsor: NIR Imaging Inc.
Team member: Allan Change, Justin Woo, Dennis Huang, Aodren Auffr茅dou-Heinicke, Nathan Cushing
While current mommograms can cause discomfort due to breast compression, the team developed a sensing system that tracks probe pressure, orientation and location. The project aims to improve the accuracy and reliability of Near-Infrared (NIR) optical probes used in breast cancer screening and monitoring, supporting the future use of NIR imaging in clinical settings.
