Faculty Adviser:
Patty Buchanan, Lecturer, Industrial & Systems Engineering
About the Project:

Chemical baths are used to clean titanium parts coming from the etching process. Chemical process tanks have a finite cleaning capacity which necessitates periodic draining & recharging with new chemical to achieve processing requirements. Current forecasting tools are based on historical usage rates and are not dynamically responsive to production increases, considering defined chemical parameters. Current QA chemistry monitoring is not predictive of bath life resulting in unplanned tank refill, increased cost, as well as schedule impact (both operations & maintenance). The student team was tasked with developing a system to track the number of parts processed through each specific tank on a weekly basis to provide a more robust forecasting of chemical solution bath life correlated to, or directly determined by, production rates.

Faculty Adviser:
Patty Buchanan, Lecturer, Industrial & Systems Engineering
About the Project:

Tools are built and inspected prior to first time use and never inspected again. Boeing currently uses pullout punches in order to create holes of the right diameter to join ducts together. These pullout punches are placed within a duct and then pulled through a pilot hole in the duct which will then expand the hole to the same diameter as the punch. This in turn, causes contact wear on the punch and over time starts to affect the critical dimension of the punch. When the wear gets too significant, the pullouts created by the punch will no longer be within tolerance, which causes a significant amount of rework downstream in order to get the ducts mated properly. Currently no system is in place to keep track of the wear on these tools. The student team worked to develop a system for the area operators to check tools for wear outside the usable engineering tolerances, monitor tool use environmental and performance conditions, and predict the remaining life of tools.

Genie currently uses an Access database to track parts and part materials throughout the facility. The database fulfilled many of Genie’s initial needs in providing a central location where data could be monitored and stored. Since 1997, many problems have arisen in the database that have led to slower production and a decrease in quality of information available. As Genie continued to improve by producing more parts and collecting more data, the database struggled to keep up the speed it once had. As problems arose, the database was tweaked and added onto in order to fix the short-term issue, however, it failed to address the long-term issues the current form presents, such as slow speed resulting in duplicate entry logs. The student team was tasked with improving the usability and speed of the Access database, as well as providing a wireframe which can eventually be linked with SQL programming, in order to provide an enhanced user Interface.

About the Project:

Eye trackers are slowly becoming mainstream devices and finding uses in accessibility scenarios, education, entertainment and productivity. But it is hard to automate testing of applications that are written to work with eye trackers because the eye trackers require a human to be present. It is also hard to replicate a test or an experiment because human eyes don't follow the exact same paths every time. The student team worked to build a test-rig and software to control the rig that can automate testing. The test rig consists of a pair of prosthetic eyes capable of rotating horizontally and vertically that are realistic enough to fool an eye tracker that it is human. The software can accept a set of screen coordinates as input and then move the eyes in such a way that the eye tracker returns that point as the gaze coordinate.

About the Project:

A key component of autonomous vehicle operation is the ability for the vehicle control system to locate its current position on a high definition map. This localization is required in order to insulate path planning from the instantaneous information presented by the vehicle perception system. This is necessary to provide redundancy in case of a temporary or unexpected loss of perception as well as to decouple the performance of the vehicle controls from the latency of the perception system. The student team was tasked with evaluating techniques that would be suitable for use on a commercial vehicle operating on roads under sparse availability of easily identified landmarks.

About the Project:

Emission regulations for diesel truck engines are becoming increasingly stringent. This is particularly true for nitrogen oxides (NOx), which are controlled by an aftertreatment catalyst system. Catalyst performance depends on keeping the catalyst temperature at the optimal point, which requires quick initial heatup and careful control of temperature excursions during the drive cycle. PACCAR has proposed a unique tube-in-shell heat exchanger design to address these challenges. The student team worked on two proposed design features: (1) use of thermal barrier coatings to improve heat retention and (2) use of guided fins to enhance the internal heat transfer between the engine gas and catalyst body. The thermal barrier coating (TBC) sub-team investigated the TBC effectiveness by analyzing the microstructural and mechanical integrity of the coatings. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) sub-team used ANSYS Fluent to explore and optimize how various fin geometries worked to improve heat transfer and reduce pressure drop inside the system. Both these approaches appear to have sufficiently good benefits and low costs such that they are candidates for further development.

The City of Bellevue aims to help city transportation staff improve efficiencies related to clearing roads during snow and ice events, and is planning to deploy a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) telematics system for the winter weather response fleet (plows, sand and salt spreaders, and de-icing trucks). The COTS telematics system is envisioned to provide data on vehicle location, plow position, material spread rate, and time.

Currently, the City of Bellevue does not have a sophisticated system for covering deicing and snow plowing routes. Their current system was created a few decades ago and there is no proof that the system still works today. The current system needs to be optimized to help City of Bellevue efficiency rates in regards to their deicing and snow plowing procedures. The student team worked to develop a dynamic optimization model or platform that will help the City of Bellevue Transportation Department reduce costs and resources for snow and ice response efforts.
