Optimization of Phone Call Handling at Daylight TransportINDUSTRIAL & MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING

Advisor: Dr. Kamran AbediniTeam: Breanne De Anda, Kyle Smith

The call handling process at Daylight Transport’s Call Center was analyzed in order to increase operations effi ciency. To help analyze the incoming and outgoing calls of the call center, different techniques were used including, but not limited to, operations research, simulation modeling, statistical data analysis, forecasting and human factors engineering. The studies conducted provided recommendations to further maximize effi ciency by reducing the average length of calls and customer wait times, saving the company about $280,000.

Tales of KhalELECTRICAL & COMPUTER ENGINEERING

Advisor: Dr. Meng-Lai YinTeam: Keno San Pablo, Andrew Kwong, Lung Luong, Hau Bui

Integrating electrical and computer engineering, our team designed and developed an arcade machine running the game “Tales of Khal”. We challenged ourselves to create a fun, engaging, and polished experience which embraces creativity. There were four areas of focus: game design, programming, asset production, and the arcade machine. The team worked closely together to complete the product, which not only demonstrates the Learn by Doing philosophy, but also sets a multi-disciplinary example which combines electrical engineering and computer engineering.

Design and Manufacture of a Sports Car ChassisMECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Advisor: Dr. Hassan M. RejaliTeam: Ian Cannarozzi

The objective of this project was to design, manufacture, and test a new chassis for a 1962 TVR Grantura that will accommodate a new running gear and suspension system while fi tting within the existing body’s envelope. The design was optimized and analyzed using fi nite element analysis (FEA) software. Fixtures were designed and the chassis was manufactured and tested in a torsional rigidity fi xture to validate FEA results.

Power Generation for Unmanned Aircraft Using 3-D Printed Aeroelastic Wing Composite Structure and Vibration Induced Power Generation DevicesAEROSPACE ENGINEERING

Advisor: Steven DobbsTeam: Rita Eick, Emerson Baker, Wesley Miller, Hali Arriga, David Hunter, Eric Johnson, Jorge Rivera, Eric Ngo, Sukhwinder Singh SandhuSponsor: CAES (Creative Aero Engineering Solutions) Inc., Alan Arslan

Aircraft are evolving into slender wing designs that are very fl exible and susceptible to large static and vibration “fl apping” defl ections in the presence of gusty winds and near fl utter instabilities. These problems were transformed into benefi ts by developing and demonstrating in the lab and in the Cal Poly Pomona Low Speed Wind Tunnel with gust generation 3-D printed composite structures and Piezo/rotary mechanical electric vibration induced power generators that are attached to the wing and tuned to the wing vibration frequencies. These generation technologies demonstrated the potential for aircraft power generation.

Autonomous Robotic Rocket Launchpad for NASA Student Launch for Mars Ascent VehicleENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY

Advisors: Dr. Massoud Moussavi, Dr. Donald Edberg, Dr. Scott BoskovichTeam: Eric J. Garcia, Junwei Huang, Vazrakiran P. Kaila, Chao Wang, Andrew Schneider

The NASA Student Launch Competition involves building a large rocket and an automated robotic launcher designed to autonomously recognize and pick up a simulated payload off the ground, load it into the rocket, close the payload door, raise the rocket to launch position, and insert the engine igniter. This team of students is designing and manufacturing the robotic arm responsible for capturing and depositing the payload, the control system of the launchpad, and the entire autonomous sequence.

Feasibility, Due Diligence, Development and Construction of a New ChurchCIVIL ENGINEERING

Advisor: Dr. Jin Sung ChoTeam: Andrew Villasenor, Molly McMillan, Maggie Cheng, Sammy Elbastawesy, John Elijah, Derek Chui, Bin Cai, Parker Welch, Marco Morales, David Navarro, Javier Anguiano, Edwin Sue, Andres AguirreSponsor: James Bogle (Estimation)

The team, acting as a design/build general contractor, had an initial problem of limited parking at an existing church site. A feasibility study was conducted, which indicated that building a parking structure at the current site was not feasible. Another site was chosen followed by due diligence, a 3D Revit model and construction administration documents.

Modeling and Optimization of Reverse Osmosis Desalination: An Industrial Case StudyCHEMICAL & MATERIALS ENGINEERING

Advisor: Dr. Mingheng LiTeam: Sophia Bui, Steven ChaoSponsor: Petroleum Research Fund

A fully-coupled three dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) model was developed to investigate hydrodynamics and mass transfer characteristics in a commercial reverse osmosis membrane. The effects of process parameters on pressure drop and concentration polarization were quantifi ed, based on which a simplifi ed and yet reliable one-dimensional system-level model was developed for industrial-scale analysis and optimization. The theoretical work was successfully validated in a local water plant, demonstrating reduced energy consumption and brine disposal cost.

2015 PROJECT SHOWCASE WINNER

A New Class of Advanced Titanium Alloys for Biomedical Implant Applications

Advisor: Dr. Vilupanur A. RaviTeam: Kristy McCann, Janice Miguel, Gamer Margoosian, Travis Voorhees

Aseptic loosening of metallic implants is a major cause of implant failures. This is due to the deterioration of the bone adjacent to the implant by osteoclasts (bone-eroding cells). The rapid increase in the longevity of the world’s population is making this problem even more critical and the need for durable implants is thus becoming imperative. The corrosion behavior of a new class of titanium alloys, containing boron, has been studied in detail to quantify their stability in physiological environments. The results of this investigation will be presented and the implications for utilization of these alloys in implants discussed.

The College of Engineering selects Dean’s award winners for Outstanding Project Presentation. The Chemical & Materials Engineering team was awarded fi rst place for their project presentation, A New Class of Advanced Titanium Alloys for Biomedical Implant Applications.
