Developed by electrical engineering seniors Mike Bosken and Joel Evans with faculty advisor William Wee, electrical engineering professor. The teams metrochrome dye synthesizer automates the identification of fabric color, selects the appropriate combination of dye for color synthesis, delivers and mixes dyes, dyes and cures fabric, and also verifies color accuracy.
Portable Rotating Solar Panel

Developed by electrical engineering (EE) seniors Aaron Gerth, Evan Hilderbrand and Benjamin Luong with faculty advisor Max Rabiee, electrical engineering professor. The teams portable rotating solar panel solves the problem solar panel consumers often have with capturing the suns rays from dawn to dusk as the earth rotates around the sun and the normal solar panel stays in a fixed position. This solar panel rotates and adjusts to the suns position.
Safelet

Developed by electrical engineering eniors Paul Dentel, Davin Keel and Isaiah Whitsett, and computer engineering senior John Eversole with faculty advisor March Cahay, electrical engineering professor. In response to the heightened violent crimes on and near campus during the 2013-14 school year (according to UC, there has been over 200 incidents), the team prototyped a wearable bracelet that has been designed to decrease the time to report a violent crime through the utilization of Bluetooth technology and discreet activation.
Self-sustaining Golf Disc Tracker

Developed by electrical engineering seniors Joe Cerreta, Adam Mackson and Luke Richards with faculty advisor, Professor Rabiee. These seniors designed, built, and tested a self-sustaining golf disc tracking device that outputs an audible and visual signal to help players locate their disc. The tracker is compact, durable, low-powered and cost-effective.
