CETA Design Expo - Spring 2015
CETA Design Expo - Spring 2015
Friday, May 1, 2015
A wonderful day of
exhibition, poster competition & celebration in the College of Engineering,
Technology, and Architecture. Sophomores
& senior – sharing knowledge & experience.
ES 242 - Design Challenge: Motivate & Empower Mobility
ES 242: Engineering by Design - An in-depth study of the design process to include
problem solving methodologies, evaluation of alternate solutions, economic
analysis, ethical constraints, group dynamics, and presentation techniques.
Students undertake design projects specifically chosen to meet the objectives
of this course.
This Design Challenge is focused on ways to motivate
/ empower mobility among older adults in their daily lives, both inside their
homes and in their community.
• Create
well-designed, practical solutions that address key issues associated with
aging.
• Encourage
a new generation of students to become knowledgeable about aging issues.
• Provide
promising designers with a path to drive change in the world.
The Spring 2015 Challenge focuses on solutions to
empower mobility among these older adults at a personal level by:
• Reducing
sedentary lifestyles.
• Encouraging
and enabling physical movement and exercise.
• Reducing
barriers and increasing facilitators to mobility in the home and community.
* Design Evaluation Criteria:
The following criteria will be used by judges to
evaluate the final product and to choose the winning designs/products.2. Does the product work? (Can it successfully be demonstrated?)
3. Is the product easy to use/operate? Is the produce safe?
4. Does the end product consider the target population? (Who are the end users? Will the product be accepted and utilized by the target population?)
5. Was the design process implemented? (Is there evidence/documentation of the design process?)
Senior Capstone Projects:
Senior Design/Capstone courses are the culminating
experience for students. 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
· BE 461 - Biomedical Engineering Design Project II
· CE 460 - Civil Engineering Design Project
· AUD 471 - Senior Project
· ECE 483 - Capstone Design II
· ECT 481 - Senior Design Project II for Engineering Technology
· ME 461 – Acoustics Capstone Design
· ME 473 - Capstone Design Project II · MET 482 - Capstone for Engineering Technology
The following criteria will be used by judges to evaluate the projects and posters and to choose the winning designs/posters.
2. Student’s overall responses to the questions of the judges, and
3. The completeness of the work.
4. Quality of the project.

Networkology: College of Engineering, Technology, and Architecture - April 14, 2015.
The
University of Hartford’s - College of Engineering, Technology, and Architecture Student Professional Society Chapters hosted two networking receptions, one on April 14, 2015. Networkology, a five event series throughout this academic year, culminated in the Networking Reception. The event was designed as an opportunity for
students to speak with engineering professionals to gain a working knowledge of
the profession and the types of careers they might wish to pursue after
completing their education.
This
Networking Reception, held on Tuesday, April 14, 2015 from 5:30 pm to
7:30 pm in UT 320, assembled a group that included
CETA junior, senior and graduate students, faculty, recent alumni and
a mix of local professionals. The
reception included a “progressive dinner” where seating arrangements changed for each course of the 3 - course meal to ensure that everyone was able to meet several different people with enough time for meaningful
conversation.
This final event of the Networkology Series was beneficial to all participants from students to professionals. Students and professionals alike were extremely pleased with the connections made for future internships and/or career opportunities. This unique event not only allowed the opportunity for students to gain experience in networking and begin mapping a path for future career endeavors, but also allowed industry professionals to see the potential of CETA students. We look forward to the continuation and growth of this event series in future academic years.
