2013 Senior Capstone Design Team Videos
Materials Science and Engineering students at the A. James Clark School of Engineering, University of Maryland take a capstone design course in their senior year, in which they use everything they have learned to design and create a product or process with potential real-world applications. Our four Spring 2013 teams produced the following videos about their projects. In addition to the video, you can also read our story about their projects.
Team Dendrimer: "Biomedical Implant Corrosion Passivation Using PAMAM Dendrimer Films"
Team Dramastic: "Designing An η-Cu6Sn5 Alloy Anode for Sodium Ion Batteries"
Team H2: "Economical Photocatalytic Water Splitting Using ZnWO4 and NiOx Catalysts"
Team SMP: "Light-Activated Shape Memory Polymers (SMPs): Muscle Actuation for Prosthetics"
The 2011 Senior Capstone Design Team: Targeted Alpha Therapy
Materials Science and Engineering students at the A. James Clark School of Engineering, University of Maryland take a capstone design course in their senior year, in which they use everything they have learned to design and create a product or process with potential real-world applications. The Spring 2011 Capstone team made this video (in two parts) about their invention, a microfluidic device that would allow healthcare providers to quickly and efficiently administer targeted alpha radiation therapy while lowering hospital and patient costs. In addition to the video, you can also read our story about the project.
Part 1: Team Leader and Research Committee
Part 2: Design, Simulation and Analysis
The 2010 Senior Capstone Design Team: What Goes Into a Final Project?
Materials Science and Engineering students at the A. James Clark School of Engineering, University of Maryland take a capstone design course in their senior year. In recent years, they have worked projects including a shape memory alloy, self-healing polymers, carbon nanotubes for organic solar cells, zinc oxide tetrapods for microelectronic sensors—all with interesting potential real-world applications. The graduating class of Spring 2010 made this video to document the stages of development of their project.
These seniors designed a tiny dynamic microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) microphone for use in products like phones, laptops, and hearing aids that does not require a power source for signal generation. The use of electromagnetic induction to translate sound to an electrical signal has been used in macro-scale devices, but has not been created for commercial use at the micro-scale.
