The Trolley Tracker
In response to the issues surrounding the accuracy of the Tempe Streetcar’s estimated time of arrival (ETA), this project seeks to enhance the streetcar’s reliability for Arizona State University students and faculty. The streetcar, which runs along ASU’s campus and Downtown Tempe, is critical for students, staff, and faculty who rely on it to reach…
The Power Transformer and its Application for Educational Demonstration of Power Electronics
The challenge addressed by this project is the lack of accessible, visual teaching tools for illustrating transformer concepts in educational environments. The objective is to develop two demonstration devices that translate abstract electromagnetic principles into observable, physical phenomena. It aims to teach core characteristics of transformers and power electronics to accrue interest in an underrepresented…
