91制片厂

Designing unmanned air vehicles, improving brewery boilers, analyzing semiconductor failure 鈥� these were just a few of the topics that students presented during Friday鈥檚 Undergraduate Research Conference at 91制片厂 Manchester.

Electrical and mechanical engineering technology students took the stage to showcase their senior projects before peers, faculty, professional mentors and technical advisors from sponsoring companies.

Electrical engineering technology major Kyle Legg 鈥�17 presented his research on time-of-flight sensors, which are becoming more common in vehicles due to safety capabilities such as pedestrian notification and pre-crash detection. His research is a result of an ongoing internship at micro-electronics manufacturer Melexis. Legg听works at the company鈥檚 Nashua facility, but he鈥檒l听travel听to visit its research and development center in Dresden, Germany, this summer.

Mechanical engineering technology student Ryan Chartier 鈥�17 shared his experience as an intern at Manchester-based Jetboil, a manufacturer of portable outdoor stoves and accessories. Testing several Jetboil stoves, Chartier鈥檚 research examined the effect of temperature on the burn rate of various fuels.

Steve Kazakis 鈥�17, also a mechanical engineering technology student, demonstrated the hydroponic gardening system he designed and built to be used as a teaching tool in Manchester middle schools. Over the past year, Kazakis has worked with to connect with educators on how to build and maintain the system in their classrooms.

Friday鈥檚 project presentations concluded the engineering technology students鈥� yearlong efforts.
