Problem Statement: Design a custom end-effector with tactile feedback which integrates with the Baxter / Sawyer Research robot arm, capable of manipulating YCB Benchmark objects. Existing designs are too expensive…

Women’s Engineering in Life Design, or W.E.L.D, aims to improve outcomes for surgeries commonly undergone by women. We create novel surgical instruments, such as the IllumiCath, that make obstetrics and…

Authors Mentors Mitch Anthamatten and Melodie Lawton ( Department of Chemical Engineering) Abstract The crystallization speed of a polymer can be a limiting step in the production of products. The…

The diffusion of carbon dioxide into Zeolite 13X is evaluated through three methods: a TGA, an AutoChem II, and a PBR coupled with a TCD.

Our new approach uses Major Code, lessening the total codes from 850 to 23. In Major Classification, we used input layer and embedding as well as 2 hidden layers. For Job Title Classification by Major, we used Random Forest to output based on Majority Voting.
