Students researched, designed, and prototyped an innovative system for detecting cognitive impairment in order to prevent driving under the influence of intoxicants (DUII). They combined a cognitive performance test along with eye tracking to measure the impaired state of the subject.

This student team entered the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) Solar District Cup, a collegiate competition that has students design solar energy systems for entire city district. Their fully developed plan for Portland State University to implement solar won 1st place in the "Bring your own District" competition. 

Working with engineers at Galois Inc, students developed an inexpensive, open source alternative to radio frequency beacons used to rescue avalanche victims.

Students worked with OHSU researchers to investigate technologies used to monitor sleeping patients for information such as heart beat, breathing, and other vitals. Technologies included ultrasound, infrared cameras, and thermal infrared, and 

Students developed a prototype for a credit card with multiple ICs and wireless communication. Students built antennas, did RF testing, and worked with secure credit card technologies.

The student team developed the next generation indoor wireless air sensor for a The Wireless Environmental Sensing Technology (WEST) lab here at PSU.

Using an Ethernet-connected acoustic array developed by community partner Metron, students implemented a particle filter program capable of accurately tracking a drone using passive sonar.

Students developed a wearable EEG monitor for detecting sleep in order to alarm the user after a given time period. The work was done for teuscher: Lab, a well-known computer engineering research lab here at PSU.

The student team developed a low-cost wearable device that monitors ambient temperature, relative humidity, and outdoor air quality. The device provides farmworkers with audio-visual alerts of hazardous high heat or poor air quality conditions, allowing them to take appropriate action. This work was done for the Oregon Law Center, a local non-profit that provides free legal help to people struggling to make ends meet.
