---

I. Senior Design

Project	Team	Mentor / Sponsor	Scope
Hydrogen Electrolysis Project	Brendan Barucci Albert Bellucci David Jermine Ethan Finlay	Tim Dolan, E. Hadjimichael / School of Engineering	An electrolysis system to produce and store hydrogen for use with an internal combustion engine.
Automated Ball Bearing Tester	Larry Dube James Markland Frank Mongiardo	J. Voisine, RBC, C. Craciun, W. Wojna / RBC Bearings	To complete mechanical renovation and automation of the ball bearing tester designed to determine the effects of corrosion and wear on materials employed for journal (Spherical Plain) bearings.
Gyroscope Anti-Vibration System	Jason Viadero William Kuroski Ken McGovern	W. Welsh, W. Dornfeld / Sikorsky Aircraft	To develop further a gyroscope system that will be used to generate anti-vibration moments as applied to a Sikorsky helicopter, so that the vibratory moments created by a main gear box on the helicopter will be cancelled out.
Impact Tester	R. Calabano J. Abregu Keith Monroe	J. McFadden, R. Dukkipati, Alan Dubrow / School of Engineering	To design and develop a means of determining impact characteristics of materials under a range of temperatures.
Thermal Packaging	Tom Fulgione Caroline McClatchy John Kapp James Hurley	Jerry Sergent / School of Engineering	To develop an electronics package that provides good heat conduction while thermally isolating power generating devices.
Micro mouse Self-Directed Car	Kevin DeTroia Dan Ferrara Chris Rappoli Cristin Lucena	Douglas Lyon, Jerry Sergent /School of Engineering	To develop an IR-based optical guidance system.
Helicopter Blade Tracking Camera Project	Lauren Loomer Alex Del Solar Tarek Abouallah Noah Benjamin John Guglielmoni	Bob Blackwell /Sikorsky Aircraft	To track a point, or multiple points, on a rotor blade using newly available digital imaging that can be permanently mounted on the helicopter and produce a better image output for a more accurate data analysis.
Thick Film Process Control	Jacob Koeppl Nick Hogan Franklin Barahona	Jerry Sergent / School of Engineering	To develop a process control sequence that optimizes the deposition and firing of a thick film circuit on ceramic, by integrating PLC control of the printing process.
Water Filter	Sean Zandan Nicholas Palumbo Will Laughton	R. Dukkipati, Jerry Sergent / School of Engineering	To develop a water filtering system mounted on a bicycle and powered by the cycling action.

Superior Track Product	Fred Ritz James Rozelle John Lamb Anil Kodakara Gary Melfi	Adrian Vanderkroef/ The Neopost Group Company in North America	To develop a superior and robust product to combine two current shipment tracking applications.

 

III. MSSE Capstone Projects

 

Project	Team	Mentor / Sponsor	Scope
Lotus Notes Migration	Tom Kerr, Tony Crisci, Judy Walsh, John Scandurra, Freddy Rivas, Dave Schroeder	Wok-Sung Yoo	To convert all Lotus Notes EAT document repository objects to Microsoft SharePoint, in line with current TechCentral project document organization practices in the Enterprise Application Group at Pitney Bowes.
Intercompany Service Billing	Al Chowdhury, Subhash Gopalakrishnan, Jeff Wolf	Wok-Sung Yoo	To develop an Intercompany Service Billing tool which will be available to any worldwide IBM end users. It will provide business the capability to create and report service billing invoices.
Online Group Embedded Figures Test Admin Tool (OGEFT)	Rebecca Docimo, Rachna Parmar, Madhuri Tanniru	Wok-Sung Yoo	To construct an Online Group Embedded Figures Test (OGEFT), a web based testing tool to overcome the limitation of paper-based GEFT without losing its original purpose allowing the administration and delivery of GEFT to a widespread geographic population.
LawFlower	James Petrucelli Sundeep Dangol Christian Bangol	Wok-Sung Yoo	To build LawFlower, a profile based matching system which enables consumers to locate attorneys on specific criteria. This dynamic auction system also allows law firms to compete specific cases and measures the marketing effectiveness of their efforts. LawFlower incorporates a rating system and bidding component.
