On Friday, Dec. 9, 2016 – The College of Engineering,
Technology, and Architecture (CETA) celebrated the accomplishments of the freshmen
ES 143 / ECT 110 – final projects and senior project-based courses students with
CETA Design Expo: Fall 2016 – event
and poster competitions. The all-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 classes focus on the fundamentals of engineering, the
engineering profession and engineering design with emphasis on guided design
and problem-solving methodologies. Students undertake practice-oriented group
design projects. The Design Challenge for these classes focused on proposing,
building and demonstrating a final Boe-Bot project that shows new knowledge and
skills pertaining to the Boe-Bot. New
knowledge and skills may be in the form of implementation of a new sensor,
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 – freshmen
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 – freshmen

The
Senior 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 this fall are enrolled in:
· CE 420: Water Quality Engineering I
· ECE 483: ECE Capstone Design II
· ES 493: Engineering Research
· ME 473: Capstone Design Project II
The Awards of Excellence for senior Project-Based
Courses – senior poster competition were awarded as follows:

Thank
you to all who participated, coordinated, judged and attended. The CETA Design Expo is an event held each
semester and we look forward to the next event in the spring of 2017.
Congratulations
again to all the award recipients!
