CETA Design Expo - fall 2017 - Judging
CETA Design Expo - fall 2017 - First-Year Winners
CETA Design Expo - fall 2017 - Senior Winners
On Friday, Dec. 8, 2017 – The College of Engineering,
Technology, and Architecture (CETA) celebrated the accomplishments of the first
- year ES 143 / ECT 110 – final projects and senior design projects and project-based
courses students with CETA Design Expo: Fall
2017 – event and poster competitions.
The half-day event was held once again in the Sports Center, Intramural
Gym and was a day of exhibition and celebration.
The ES 143 – Engineering
and Design, newly designed this fall, the classes focus on an introduction to the
fundamentals of engineering, the engineering profession and engineering design
with emphasis on guided design and problem-solving methodologies. Students will
undertake practice-oriented group design projects. The Design Challenge for
these classes focused on proposing, building and demonstrating a final robot
project that shows new knowledge and skills pertaining to the kit. New knowledge and skills may be in the form
of implementation of two new sensors, novel application of an existing sensor
and/or advanced programming techniques beyond the code given in the manual.
The Awards of Excellence for ES 143 – first-year
poster competition were awarded as follows:

The ECT 110 – Practical
Projects classes focus on introduction to the fundamentals of electronics &
computer engineering technology with emphasis on skills that are needed for the
major. Students undertake practice-oriented group lessons in topics such as
soldering, printed circuit board and electronic/computers troubleshooting
skills. Students are guided to apply the skills they gained from the above
lessons to build electronic gadgets, and to use robotic kits to perform
specific tasks through team projects. Statistical analysis is covered in this
course as well. Students work on several projects including a final project in
a team setting. For the Design Challenge for these classes
each team must choose an electronics kit that they must construct,
troubleshoot, and demonstrate as a working final product. Teams were asked
to consider several factors in choosing the kit, including components in the
kit, tasks involved in construction, ability to customize, and evaluation of
its performance.
The Awards of Excellence for ECT 110 – first-year
poster competition were awarded as follows:
First-Year: ECT 110 –
Group T11: Alexander Siembab, Garrett Gottschall

The Senior Design and Project-Based Courses - Students work on
projects in their field of study with faculty mentors or external project
sponsors to design, fabricate, and/or test a device, process, or system. This
is a major design experience based on the knowledge and skills acquired in
earlier course work, and incorporating industry appropriate standards and
realistic constraints. Students participating are enrolled in:
- CE 420:
Water Quality Engineering I
- CE 460:
Civil Engineering Design Project
- ECE 482 /
483: ECE Capstone Design I & II
- ECT 471 /
481: Senior Design Project I & II
- ES 493:
Engineering Research
Poster Evaluation
Criteria -
The following criteria were used by judges to evaluate the projects and posters
and to choose the winning designs/posters:
1.
Clarity of the poster and oral presentations.
2.
Students’ overall responses to the questions of the judges.
3.
The completeness of the work.
4.
Quality of the project.
