Applied Mechanics (Senior Division)
Every day, vast amounts of usable energy escape into the air as low-grade waste heat from pipes, ducts, engines, and building systems. This energy is largely ignored because the only way to…
CSEF · 2026
Applied Mechanics (Senior Division)
Mini hydropower is underused in wastewater treatment due to high costs and abrasive grit flows. Epoxy reinforced with graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) or silicon carbide (SiC) may improve hardne…
CSEF · 2026
Applied Mechanics (Senior Division)
Many drugs fail because the body clears them out quickly, preveging them from reaching a steady, healing concentration. I designed and built a wearable, breath-synchronized nebulizer. This d…

Applied Mechanics (Junior Division)
Low-angle, localized sun glare remains a significant driving hazard, often occurring during sunrise and sunset when traditional visors fail to block light below the driver’s line of sight an…
CSEF · 2026
Applied Mechanics (Junior Division)
From cars and airplanes to sports equipment, the shape of an object can determine how efficiently it moves through the air, making aerodynamics a critical factor in modern design. The purpos…
CSEF · 2026
Applied Mechanics (Junior Division)
My project, "Which is the strongest bridge?" focuses on the Pratt truss, suspension, and arch bridges. My purpose with this idea was to investigate the qualities of each bridge to assist arc…
CSEF · 2026
Applied Mechanics (Junior Division)
A larger-scale wind tunnel can be used to test a variety of prototypes, from model cars to aircraft. The high cost of professional wind tunnels makes aerodynamic testing inaccessible to smal…
