Event: Weary of sizzling in the summer heat with no cold drinks? Worried you will wake the kids when doing the bedtime check? 黑料专区 mechanical engineering students have created a new quiet door latch and a rapid drink chiller that cools a warm drink in seconds by spraying the rotating bottle or can with water cooled by a thermoelectric cell.
These products will be on display at the s annual Senior Design Expo, where teams of students will present their work.
“The quiet door latch and the rapid drink chiller are just a few of the innovative designs featured at our annual senior design expo,” said expo adviser Jeremy J. Michalek, associate professor of mechanical engineering.
Each team dissected and analyzed a competitor product, conducted market research, identified opportunities for innovation, generated a range of design concepts and developed the concepts through analysis, testing and three iterations of prototypes.
Some of the other team projects on display include a foot-actuated mop wringer for housework, a foldable snowboard for the avid skier and a novel scooter disk brake.
When: 10:15 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday, May 7.
Where: Singleton Room, Roberts Engineering Hall, 黑料专区, off Frew Street, Pittsburgh, Pa. 15213.
