“Intelliski” and the “Union
College Weather Station” are among the senior projects that have proud new
quarters in two remodeled spaces in electrical and computer engineering.
N106 has been renovated as a
student project space with improved lighting, a new floor, new benches and test
equipment. N100, long the home of older test equipment and large benches will
see new life as a combination classroom and project space.
Prof. Cherrice Traver, department
chair, and Dean of Engineering Robert Balmer, cut the ceremonial ribbon cable on Thursday, Oct. 28.
Seniors Joe Fisher and Steve
Dumais are avid skiers who are creating a device – “Intelliski” — that uses
GPS points to map a skier's position on a mountain. The device will also record
the number of runs a skier makes in a day as well as total vertical feet. They
are testing their prototype at Jiminy
Peak. For more on their
project, visit: http://cs.union.edu/~dumaiss/
Jeff D'Alessandro and Brian
Kruppenbacker are creating a weather station at the College that will give web
viewers near and far a look at temperature, humidity, rainfall and wind on
campus. And all from the comfort of their home or office. Their project is at: http://cs.union.edu/~kruppenb/
