At the course conclusion, student teams are to submit a proposal documentto faculty members and a company sponsor for their upcoming senior design projects. Thisproposal document is assessed by faculty members and civil engineering practitioners from thecompany sponsor.

Once thedatasets are acquired, using techniques such as Kernel Method, we can predict if that specificregion or location is vulnerable to such cataclysmic events.

ExperienceAbstract In 2019 the World Health Organization reported that clean drinking water is unavailable to2.2 billion people worldwide. Water contamination can include multiple issues, includingsuspended solids, turbidity, dissolved organics, and heavy metals, as well as bacteria or otherpathogens. Problems such as water quality may attract students to engineering as a means topursue a career dedicated to improving the human condition. Opportunities for students to furthertheir knowledge and awareness of humanitarian issues within the undergraduate curriculum canenhance their knowledge of these career paths and build on research or extra-curricularopportunities related to humanitarian engineering. The authors have sponsored water treatment projects
different fields ranging from health tophysics. For each subject area, a day-long module was created. Each student group attended onespecific module every day and rotated to a different module the next day. The modules started witha short introduction and lecture, then the necessary hands-on skills were taught, and at the end of theday, a small hands-on project was completed. Every day the program started with breakfast at 8:00a.m. and ended at 5:30 in the evening with dinner. Module specific activities started at 10:00 a.m.and ended at 3:30 p.m. During these two weeks, modules were held from Monday throughThursday.

The artistic goal of the work is to explore theconnections between sight and sound and to add musically relevant and engaging visuals thatwould react to the singers’ voices in real time. A secondary goal of the efforts is to create thesefunctionalities in a way that can easily be modified and shared by other

that this multidisciplinary projectprovided an outlet where both engineering and fine art majors could put theory into practice in asafe environment where the outcome did not have to be perfect. Working in multidisciplinaryteams provided an opportunity for both engineers and fine art majors to gain an appreciation thatboth majors work hard but in different ways. The artists described how the experiencehumanized engineering, but gatekeeping did emerge when it came to engineers painting andmaking creative choices on the project. While the project did provide opportunities to exchangeskills and knowledge between the majors, it also lead to some resentment from the artists aboutthe abundance of resources provided to engineering majors by the

This program is a unique program that integrates services to individuals withdisabilities with education, research and development. Seven field engineers and six techniciansdeployed throughout the state identify barriers to accessibility for individuals with disabilitiesand refer projects that do not have commercial solutions to the Capstone students. Theseprojects range from devices for personal hygiene, wheelchair mobility, driving adaptations torecreation and sports equipment. The program helps people with disabilities becomeindependent and have a better quality of life. These projects are ideal projects for mechanicalengineering students and several students have proposed their

population and energy consumption both continue to grow significantly. Also, dueto global uncertainties, energy is becoming increasingly important. The United States, forexample, increasingly relies on imported energy (32.9 % in 2006)1. Projections from DOE’sAnnual Energy Outlook indicate that primary energy use in the United States will climb to 134Quadrillion Btu in 2030 from 98 in 20002. Despite increases in electricity generation efficiencies,total electricity consumption is also predicted to increase.
