Statement of Work for Lab Projects


Statement of Work

Wind Tunnel Automation
The existing wind tunnel in the ME Lab has been modified to collect data both manually and automatically. At present, the airspeed requires manual control. It is required to update the system with computer control for the existing motor.
This would require a new computer and software employing Lab View.
An EE, 1-ME and a computer engineer are needed.
Customer: Dr. Botosani
Mentors: C. Craciun, J. McFadden

 
Statement of Work

Universal Strain Gage Readout System
Several equipments residing in the ME Lab employ strain gages to sense the stresses. These include:

  • Truss Tester
  • Tensile Tester
  • Impact Tester
  • Instron (special applications, where existing Instron instrumentation may require supplementary strain gages)

An existing set of strain gage amplifiers is attached to the truss tester. It is required that sufficient amplifiers and readout equipment be interfaced with each of the above equipments. Software such as Lab View must be employed for readout and recording data.
One EE and one ME are required.
Customer: Dr. Botosani
Mentors: E. Wojna, J. McFadden

 
Statement of Work

Robotic Manufacturing System Employing Milling Machine
The Robotics Lab contains a programmable milling machine and several robot transport systems. It is required to interface the miller with a transport mechanism to perform an automated machining center.
This involves introduction of an AutoCAD drawing which will be combined with robotic software to perform both transfer of material and machining.
This requires 1 software (or computer) engineer and 2 ME (1-Mfg Engr).
Customer: Dr. Botosani
Mentors: C. Craciun  + Prof. Li

 
 
Statement of Work

Automation Test and Measurement of Electronic Circuits
The Electronics Laboratory presently contains an equipment board that is used to test circuits using a function generator and an oscilloscope to determine circuit properties. It is required to employ LabView to coordinate the programming of the function generator and the oscilloscope such that the computer screen will be the one component of this system that will both control and monitor the circuit behavior.
Simulation with Electronic software and/or Simulink prior to the actual testing will provide a point of correlation of analysis and measurements.
This requires 2 EE's and 1 Computer Engineer.
Customer: Dr. Botosani
Mentors: Dr. Sergent, C. Cracien, plus EE instructor
