Two of our Electrical Engineering Technology seniors (Joeseph Rodriguez and Emmanuel Casilla) designed, built, and programmed this color sorting robotic arm for their senior capstone project. The system uses Arduino microcontrollers to control the process and LCD screen, a Pixy Camera vision system, to detect the color of the block, and then a robot controller to handle the arm's manipulation. Joseph and Emmanuel had to use 3 different programming environments for the different parts of the system and had to establish communications between the different component architectures, in order to make this project work. The students also designed and 3D printed several of the structural components for this project.

Engineering Technology Master's student, Micheal Cooprider, recently built two FET/500 Compressor modules for the Critical Listening Environment for Audio Recording (CLEAR) Lab's SSL. Earlier this month we ran a single-blind test to see if students could discern between Revision A and Revision D of the FET's. Students reported the differences they perceived via an online survey instrument.

For the past several years it has definitely felt like we had reached the end of Moore's Law, that computing devices would continue to become faster and faster. The standard CPU has been around 2 GHz to 3.5 GHz for quite some time and even premium CPU's don't top much over 4 GHz. We have seen an increase in the number of cores but programs capable of utilizing multiple cores haven't really kept the pace. But this article makes for an interesting development in transistor topology that could bring the race for faster computers back to the forefront. Could Silicon Valley become Tin Monoxide Valley?

Researchers could be fending off the demise of Moore's Law with the help of a new kind of flat semiconducting material made of tin monoxide that is only one-atom thick, allowing electrical charges to pass through it faster than silicon or other 3D materials.

Here's a short video of the printer our Seniors designed and built, running a part!

This 3D printer was designed and built for a capstone project by 2 of our seniors in collaboration with a team of Mechanical Engineering Technology students!

We need these in the lab...

That'll do it.
