Days before graduation, TROY engineering graduates presented their capstone research projects for local industry professionals and other TROY faculty.

Hunter Holmes developed his research project, the “Godet Test Stand,” while working at Shaw Industries. The objective of his research is to decrease downtime and waste and increase production by developing a method to quickly test failure-prone godets.

Miles Beaty and Collin Paramore’s research, titled “Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting in Footwear for Portable Power Generation,” aims to utilize human motion to generate battery power.
