Senior design: shopping for a solution

The now seemingly-ubiquitous shopping cart started out as a sort of engineering solution, itself, back in 1936. Noticing his customers struggling to carry wire baskets under the weight of their groceries, Oklahoma retailer Sylvan Goldman had his eyes on a fix: put the baskets on wheels. But, what if carts become problematic to push? One senior design team is looking to build on that concept by designing an autonomous cart, aiming to boost convenience and customer satisfaction, particularly those with physical limitations. "The goal of our project is to have the cart recognize th...

Senior design: locked into safety

According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, the reported use rate for seat belts hit 89.6 percent in 2018, with belts reportedly saving nearly 15,000 lives in passenger vehicle crashes the previous year. However, for one Temple Engineering senior design team, the focus is on those who don't wear belts, often due to upper body impairments of some kind. "The goal is to assist those with impairments such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, neck and back pain, and other upper-body conditions," said mechanical engineering student Christian Sloat, who estimated a...

Senior design: Many hands, one solution

Sometimes, how senior design teams come together is just as important as the problems they identify and maybe even the solutions they craft to solve them. In creating a smart prosthetic hand—combining electromyogram (EMG) powered prosthetics with machine learning—one team is seeking to incorporate advantages from powered and EMG prosthetics while adding more custom movements for end users. They also combined a pair of bioengineering majors; Omeed Hurtubise, and Tri Duong, with Jezreel Konstantinos, a mechanical engineering major and Thang Le, an electrical engineering major...

Managing systems: meet your new industrial and systems engineering program

How do you find space for 1.5 million books alongside sprawling event and study areas, a makerspace, scholar studio, special collections and a first-floor cafe? Enter the Temple University ASRS, warmly referred to as BookBot, located in the Charles Library. The project took the bulk of the library's collection and compressed it into a high-density robotic storage system. When an item is requested, a message is sent to the BookBot with the request. The item is retrieved from its corresponding bin, and delivered to a processing station for pickup. Along with becoming part of the t...

Taking initiative

When Adrian Sæland shows up for work at his job as a construction coordinator with the RJP Consulting Group, he takes away two things: the journey that got him there, and where he came from. Sæland, originally from Sandnes, Norway, completed the Engineering Management MS program in just two semesters. "As I grew up, both my parents were working full-time, raising four children and helping out my grandparents run their farm," Sæland said. "I developed a strong work ethic from observing and learning from them." Sæland originally came to Temple after studying civil engineering...
