In ECE101 while using the method of diversity harnessing, we have witnessed an increase in student projects that are both self-inspired as well as potentially marketable. We outline a few of them here.
In ECE101 while using the method of diversity harnessing, we have witnessed an increase in student projects that are both self-inspired as well as potentially marketable. We outline a few of them here.
Low-cost lecture capture system
Motivated by his own visual impairment, this student prototyped a three-servo motor, one-USB video camera system utilizing the Parallax BASIC Stamp II microcontroller. The student did not have prior experience in building hardware and his disability was an additional impairment to doing so on his own. Empowered by his early success, he continued his project beyond the end of ECE101 as an "Independent Study", produced a fully-enclosed lecture capture system, and presented it at the University of Illinois's Engineering Open House held in March, 2012.
Artistic, wearable soft circuits
Motivated by her own personal interests, this student constructed a soft-circuit, LED-illuminated quilt that responds to sound and appears to "dance" to music. This student did have prior experience in building such hardware, but found ECE101 to provide additional motivation for completion of her plans. She also felt compelled to present at Engineering Open House in March, 2012, but pressed herself to complete an entirely different project in the few months leading up to that event. Her music-activated skeletal costume based on the Arduino "LilyPad" received much attention including commercial interest.
Smart phone tv remote
Motivated by the potential of smart phones, this student proposed modifying his phone with an external USB device to transform it into a TV remote. After working through basic engineering design steps, he modified his design to use the stereo jack instead of USB thereby saving on both hardware and software development time. The student was able to demonstrate a device capable of turning a television on and off from a very short distance by the end of ECE101. He has plans to complete an Independent Study to design and build a more robust and versatile device.
Questions & Answers
A golfer on a fairway is 70 m away from the green, which sits below the level of the fairway by 20 m. If the golfer hits the ball at an angle of 40° with an initial speed of 20 m/s, how close to the green does she come?
A mouse of mass 200 g falls 100 m down a vertical mine shaft and lands at the bottom with a speed of 8.0 m/s. During its fall, how much work is done on the mouse by air resistance
Can you compute that for me. Ty

what is the dimension formula of energy?
Chemistry is a branch of science that deals with the study of matter,it composition,it structure and the changes it undergoes
Adjei
please, I'm a physics student and I need help in physics

chemistry could also be understood like the sexual attraction/repulsion of the male and female elements. the reaction varies depending on the energy differences of each given gender. + masculine -female.

A ball is thrown straight up.it passes a 2.0m high window 7.50 m off the ground on it path up and takes 1.30 s to go past the window.what was the ball initial velocity
2. A sled plus passenger with total mass 50 kg is pulled 20 m across the snow (0.20) at constant velocity by a force directed 25° above the horizontal. Calculate (a) the work of the applied force, (b) the work of friction, and (c) the total work.
you have been hired as an espert witness in a court case involving an automobile accident. the accident involved car A of mass 1500kg which crashed into stationary car B of mass 1100kg. the driver of car A applied his brakes 15 m before he skidded and crashed into car B. after the collision, car A s
can someone explain to me, an ignorant high school student, why the trend of the graph doesn't follow the fact that the higher frequency a sound wave is, the more power it is, hence, making me think the phons output would follow this general trend?
Nevermind i just realied that the graph is the phons output for a person with normal hearing and not just the phons output of the sound waves power, I should read the entire thing next time
Joseph
Follow up question, does anyone know where I can find a graph that accuretly depicts the actual relative "power" output of sound over its frequency instead of just humans hearing

what are the types of wave
Maurice
fine, how about you?

A string is 3.00 m long with a mass of 5.00 g. The string is held taut with a tension of 500.00 N applied to the string. A pulse is sent down the string. How long does it take the pulse to travel the 3.00 m of the string?
Who can show me the full solution in this problem?
