Several Capstone student project teams have worked to develop a more accurate and efficient sensor system to monitor water quality as part of the Jefferson Project at Lake George. The sensor pod that the students developed combines commercially available and custom-designed components to measure temperature, pressure (depth), dissolved oxygen and conductivity (salinity).
A Fall’23 Capstone student team recently visited Norsk Titanium (Plattsburgh, NY), a pioneer in metal additive manufactured titanium parts. The mechanical and materials Engineering students benefited from viewing the operations firsthand. Thank you to Norsk Titanium for sponsoring a Capstone design challenge, and for hosting the visit.
