Punch Biopsy Revolution | BME | .Our project focuses on improving the punch biopsy. Our goal is to create a punch biopsy that includes the cutting mechanism. This would make the procedure faster and more practical. Later on, we would like to implement a way to extract the piece as well, ultimately needing just one tool to complete the full procedure. We are planning to use a plastic thread in order to cut the bottom of the sample and ensure a clean cut. We will create a hole in the bottom metal part of the biopsy tool where we place the thread inside while ensuring its place using medical glue. | Daniel Mann | Daniel Mann | Fabrice Manns | |

South Miami Park Revitalization | CAE | The project envisions an overhaul of the currently underutilized South Miami Park to turn it into a destination devoted to teaching people about the environments that make South Florida unique and encouraging a healthy and active lifestyle. The project is split in 2 phases: the first upgrades the park and adds a field building for the local sports league. Phase 2 includes construction of the Nature Experience Center (NEC), an interactive activity center themed around displaying a complete cross section of the South Florida ecosystems. The NEC includes an immersive aquarium, roof top gardens, and an Everglades encounter. | Joshua Dughman | Joshua Dughman | Esber Andiroglu | |

Wireless Individual Encryption (WIE) | Fortinet | ECE | Wireless Individual Encryption tackles two main problems present with public WiFi networks. First, it creates a system of verification for wifi networks that prevents man-in-the-middle attacks whereby an attacker can “spoof” a trusted wifi networks which can be used to trick devices into connecting to an attackers network rather than the desired one. Second, it introduces encryption to previously unsecured networks that prevent an attacker from being able to intercept communication between the client and the network. | Artem Sviridov | Artem Sviridov | Nigel John |

Pass Patrol | Fortinet | ECE | As cyber attacks become more common, and password information is hacked, it’s important to change online passwords often. The goal of this project is to design and implement a working prototype for a password manager that enables users to change their account passwords across multiple websites en masse with a single operation. Users can expand their password library, adding plugins for new websites, along with their account information. Different websites require different plugins, which can be downloaded and added to the password manager. All passwords are stored in an encrypted format, with access protected by a master passphrase. | Charles Mountain | Charles Mountain | Hammam Alsafrjalani |

We have completed a set of Labor Standards for both OfficeMax and Officedepot logistics work and are currently using those standards to allocate payroll. Today, the way the business processes are conducted is not optimized. The reason is due to: 1. Incorrect SOP process 2. Inefficient old OfficeMax process 3.

Breakthrough Miami | Breakthrough / Ryder | IE | Breakthrough Miami has a vision for motivated, under-resourced students of Miami-Dade County to have access to excellent educational resources, and a mission to ensure these students’ success in graduating from high school and attending college. Breakthrough accomplishes this mission by providing an award-winning, eight-year, tuition-free academic enrichment program that uses a students-teaching-students model to make that vision a reality. Serving 1,300 high-potential, 5th-12th grade students from across the county in a six-week Summer Institute and school-year programs, Breakthrough faces a challenge in providing a balanced and optimal means of transportation for its participants. Students from certain points of the route face one-way transport times as high as 2 hours. Our team has taken on the challenge in performing a complete assessment and evaluation of Breakthrough’s current process in transporting their participants from each stop to their respective schools, determine an optimal route of transportation to each school, provide a simulation of these routes, as well as a Decision Support System to assist in future planning. | Robert Garzon | Robert Garzon | Murat Erkoc |

AAR Landing Services Purchasing | AAR Landing Gear Services | IE | In the Landing Gear Services business, they are faced with many complex decisions that deal with very expensive plane parts. One of the decisions that must be made often is the choice between replacing the parts in the shop with used or new parts. The way the process is done now, all the parts are replaced with new items, which of course comes at a pretty large cost. Our project will be creating a big cost-benefit analysis to compare whether it is beneficial to replace the old parts with new ones or used ones. If they are replaced with used ones, those parts will then be inspected and repaired by AAR’s own shop. | Marc Tell | Marc Tell | Murat Erkoc |

Curveable Inter-cranial Ablation Needle | MAE | The Curveable Inter-cranial Ablation Needle has been developed to ablate irregularly shaped brain tumors. More than 13,000 people die due to brain tumors each year. To better treat brain tumors which are often irregularly shaped, a curving needle can accurately target the tumor making the process quicker, more effective, and decrease risks. The needle uses specialized hemispherical needle shafts which when tensioned curve. This concept is implemented in Medtronic’s Visualase Laser Ablation Device. A plastic 3-D printed housing contains the control mechanism allowing manipulation of the needle curvature and permits use within MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) environments. | Michael Miano | Andrew Garvey | Doyoung Chang | |

Electrothermal Drill Design Improvement: Thermal Control Feedback System | University of Wisconsin Madison, University of Miami | MAE | Ice core sampling is a technique used to collect scientific information about climate change by extracting cylindrical “ice cores” from ice sheets. Electrothermal drills, which use a heated annulus to extract ice cores, are a recently developed technology which are more versatile and less expensive than conventional drills for use in remote locations. Electrothermal drills are, however, typically less reliable than conventional methods due to issues related to loss-of-contact between the drill head and ice during drill operation. Our project seeks to alter the current standard design for an electrothermal coring drill head by equipping the device with an automatic temperature feedback control system, which should in turn increase the quality of ice core samples extracted with the ET drill and reduce the likelihood of head burnout which occurs during loss-of contact situations. A successful design should satisfy the nine engineering constraints given, and improve the viability of electrothermal ice coring for scientific research in general. | Alexander Berne | Alexander Berne | Hongtan Liu |

Emergency Electric Auxiliary Power Unit for Light Aircraft | MAE | Single-engine light aircraft endure countless hours of operation and are left vulnerable if their engine fails in flight- especially takeoff. To provide the owner/operator of the aircraft an enhanced sense of security, and to mitigate costly repairs following an emergency landing, an electric motor is to be retrofitted to the aircraft. The electric motor is engaged via a cockpit lever, which decouples the failed engine and allows the electric motor to send power to the propeller. Onboard batteries provide up to 21 minutes of flight time, at 150 HP power output, granting the pilot additional time to land safely. | Michael Lennon | Michael Lennon | GeCheng Zha | |
