Decreasing Pickleball Noise

Applied Mechanics & Structures First Award

Pickleball is a rapidly growing sport, but there have been many complaints about games being too loud. The average noise level from a pickleball game is 70 decibels when measured at 100 feet…

Designing and Constructing an Automatic, Non-Electrical, Pneumatic Based CPR Device to Eliminate Human Error in the Medical Field Gen 2.0.

Applied Mechanics & Structures Honorable_mention Award

The ongoing problem of medical malpractice, which accounts for nearly 251,000 deaths per year, highlights the need for a more sophisticated solution to the issue of human error. To address t…

Drone Braiding: A Lightweight Approach to Space Manufacturing

Applied Mechanics & Structures Honorable_mention Award

Objectives/Goals: The success of Ingenuity, the Mars helicopter, opens up new possibilities for drones in space. Our goal is to demonstrate “proof of concept” for braiding with drones, expan…

How Rubberband Extension and Cart Weight Affect the Distance Traveled By a Rubberband-Driven Cart

Applied Mechanics & Structures Third Award

I aimed to find out the relationship between the cart traveled distance (Dx), the cart weight (Wx), and rubberband extension (ΔL) for a rubberband-driven cart. I hypothesize that the distanc…

Optimizing Heat Transfer of Cooking Surfaces Using Temperature Control

Applied Mechanics & Structures Honorable_mention Award

It can be difficult to efficiently heat a cast iron griddle for cooking pancakes. When heating a griddle, people often let the cook surface get too hot, burning pancakes or other food. They…

PathFinder: A Smart Retrieval Robot for Optimal Sports Training Efficiency

Applied Mechanics & Structures Honorable_mention Award

Repetition is the key to the mastery of any skill, but the "Ball Collection Problem", which we define as the issue in sports of collecting balls after their dispersal, frequently prevents at…

Pura Aer 2: Dual-Stage, Energy-Efficient, Modular Air Purifier System, Inspired by Porifera to Improve Air Quality

Applied Mechanics & Structures Fourth Award

Objective: Air pollution, especially PM 2.5, affects the health of millions of people globally, causing premature death. Outdoor air pollutants impact indoor air quality by leaking inside. T…
