The team designed and fabricated a prototype analog radio-frequency (RF) electronics module for the FARSIDE lunar radio telescope, a telescope that will be placed on the far side of the moon to detect low-frequency astronomical radio signals in the 100 kHz to 40 MHz range. This node will receive the RF signals from the antennas,…

Our capstone project is a Wi-Fi enabled smart circuit breaker designed to improve electrical monitoring, accessibility, and user control in a household system. The system uses sensors and a microcontroller to collect real-time voltage, current, and power data, which is then sent to a desktop application for live display, remote switching, and data logging. Overall,…

The MIMU manages power flow inside a microgrid. It prioritizes local generation and uses the utility power only when needed. It also handles peer-to-peer trading by combining real and reactive power measurements with the exchange rates assigned to each node. The design allows the system to monitor power quality, detect unsafe conditions, and respond with…

Compares traditional and spiking neural networks under realistic hardware conditions. Using IBM’s AIHWKIT simulator, the project measures how analog device imperfections such as RRAM read noise and conductance drift affect model performance. The goal is to quantify the real-world tradeoffs of running neural networks on energy-efficient neuromorphic hardware using a controlled comparison framework. Demo Day…

This project addresses the gap between NERC’s traditional contingency framework designed around traditional generation and transmission systems and the rapid, large-scale load swings introduced by hyperscale data centers connecting to the transmission grid. It takes the form of a physical, button-triggered 3-bus transmission simulator that uses motors, LEDs, and real-time displays to demonstrate how sudden…

This capstone project demonstrated how artificial intelligence can run directly on resource constrained hardware. The team developed a proof-of-concept platform that captures signal data and uses on board AI to help identify unusual activity in real time. By combining embedded computing, RF technology, and machine learning, the project highlights a more efficient approach to security…

This project investigates the feasibility of adapting heritage instrumentation for a Psyche-like mission through system-level modeling and embedded implementation. A 50 W constrained payload was analyzed using LTspice and hardware prototyping. Results validate operation through prioritized load scheduling and dynamic power allocation.

The objective of this project is to design, build, and demonstrate a low cost active radar system capable of detecting objects and determining the angle of approach using software defined radio (SDR) , specifically the ADALM-Pluto. This device is capable of transmitting and receiving radio signals entirely controlled by software. This project will determine if…
