Project: EARS: Electronic Attendance Registry System

Description:

Electronic Attendance Registry System is a system designed to assist in collecting and analyzing student attendance data. The system allows students to record their attendance via RFID tags. The system is composed of attendance devices installed in classroom and connected via a mesh network to a centralized server. The information will be processed by the server to generate attendance lists and statistical data - such as average attendance and lateness percentage per section and per building. The professor would later access this data through a web interface, avoiding the need to manually input it later.

Project: OnPet

Description:

OnPet is a system whose goal and purpose is to help people locate their pets. It will consist of a device attached to the pet in a vest-like accessory. A database will receive and log the location data from this device. It will include a GPS receiver, a GSM modem, a microcontroller, and a solar panel with rechargeable batteries. It will also include sensors to determine if the vest was taken off the pet. A website will present the location information from the database in an intuitive format.

Project: ZFM: Zero Force Mouse

Description:

With the intention of helping and improving the quality of life of physically impaired individuals, Project Mjolnir proudly presents the Zero-Force Mouse. This is a revolutionary computer mouse, which implements the effortless technology of capacitive sensing into a device that facilitates the human-computer interface. This allows computer interaction with the use of minimal movement and force.

Project: TempMon

Description:

The project consists of a temperature monitor-and-control system for multi-room buildings. The system is comprised of a network of "stations", connected wirelessly to a computer. Each station will have a target temperature, set by the user, at which the room must remain. In order to do that, the stations will monitor the temperature and control de a/c unit(s) in the room using infrared signal commands. The system can be managed from any computer using the PC application. The application is also accessible via internet, which makes it possible for the user to manage the system remotely. This is a light, effective and affordable alternative to centralized ventilation systems.
