Lab Project Themes
The same lab team (3 students only) will continue working for the lab
project!
The project can be extended along two semesters (ELG2336 + ELG3336)!
The following themes are proposed, however teams are free to adopt any
other project of interest!
EcoCAR:
uOttawa Supermileage
Join the existing team: Two groups of students will be accepted! If
interested contact me!
EcoCAR:
Power Management System
The main objective of this project theme is to
demonstrate experimentally that the combination of batteries and
ultracapacitors (UCAPs) can solve the lack of
specific power, allowing an enhanced performance in both acceleration
and regenerative braking in an electric vehicle.
Deadline to send first proposal: January 25, 2015.
Look for this article: High
performance all-carbon thin film supercapacitors
BioMedEng:
Thermal Therapy Management System for Heart Failure
The main technical challenge of this project is to
design a controllable (using Arduino) device that supplies heat and cold
to the chest of a patient using light, small size, flexible shape; no
moving parts and circulating liquids.
