The project goal is to design, fabricate, and test an electric golf bag and push/pull cart that will be able to keep your beverages cold through the back nine. We can do this using thermoelectric modules such as Peltier coolers. They will be powered by a rechargeable battery. This battery will be powered by solar panels on the bag. The battery will also be able to be charged through an external power source (i.e. wall outlet,) requiring an AC-DC converter. We would also like to add an electronic score card to go along with the USB port and cooling/heating system.

Environmental Sensing for Firefighters

Featured Project

Hyun Yi, Lauren White, and Andri Teneqexhi earned the Instructor's Award in the Fall of 2013 for their work on the Environmental Sensing for Firefighters.

"Engineering is all about solving real life problems and using the solutions to improve the lives of others. ECE 445 allows you to actually delve deeper into what this really means by providing students the chance to undergo the engineering design process. This requires taking all of the theoretical knowledge, lab experiences, and ultimately, everything that you have ever learned in life, and applying it to your project. Though, there is structure to the course and deadlines in place to measure your team's progress, the actual design, implementation, and success of your project is all determined by you. Unlike any other course that I have taken, I've gained an appreciation for the utilization and benefits of external resources, unforeseen scheduling delays, delegating tasks, and most importantly, teamwork. I consider ECE 445 to be a crash course into real life engineering and a guide to become a successful engineer." -- Lauren White
