Towards the end of the senior design project is the Senior Design Conference, where your team will be responsible for presenting on the progress, achievements ...

Prototyping: With the use of CAD and massive amounts of digital simulation software available, it can often seem superfluous to make early appearance models, or even undertake early testing of new ...

This is the second article in a 6-part series titled “Mechanical Engineering Perspectives for Efficient, Integrated Commercial Product Design.” When we think about product design, it’s common to ...

Whether designing a competitive commercial product or a high-end aerospace or medical product, creating working prototypes is an essential step in the design process. Effective prototyping not only ...

Something that becomes abundantly clear as you progress through the senior design project is that an idea “on paper” often does not fully translate physically in the prototyping phase. Because at this ...

An overview of the fundamentals of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and its importance in aerospace component design. A look at how FEA software enables aerospace engineers to simulate the results of ...

How to work out a prototyping strategy that eases the transition to mass production. The advantages of using data from devices in the field to improve designs over time. How to make products more ...

Every day, power electronics systems play a bigger role in our lives. All-electric and hybrid vehicles are now common on our streets. Electrification of the aerospace industry is accelerating, and ...

According to the Huberman Lab health and science podcast, many doctors question the accuracy of automatic blood pressure cuffs. That news surprised fifth-year biomedical engineering student Aidan ...

Back in 2010, Bob Pease sent me a couple pictures of some prototype printed circuit boards (PCBs) he had made in the early 1960s. Pease got to be a great analog engineer because he would hack away at ...
