EMCAT A senior Penn State Altoona Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology project presentation by students Alex Horwitz, Seth Horwitz, Steven St.Pierre, and Matthew Weimert.
Our project uses electromagnetism to propel a model aircraft along and off a rail.
Automated Apple Cider Press A senior Penn State Altoona Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology project presentation by students Andrew Imler, Jason McElheny, and Stephen Nileski.
State-of-the-art apple cider press that slices, grinds, presses, and dispenses apple cider.
The Penny Pincher A senior Penn State Altoona Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology project presentation by students Richard Chronister, Brett Eckenrode, and Benjamin Leffler.
A transparent view into the Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technologies Degree in which coins inserted by a user will be sorted, allowing only pennies to be launched, then crushed and embossed with the Penn State Logo and EMET acronym.
HHG CNC Wood Milling Machine A senior Penn State Altoona Electro-Mechanical Engineering Project Presentation by students James Fogarty IV, Andrew Guthrie, Ryan Kleiman, and Caleb Shaw.
The project is a CNC mill with a turntable capable of creating screw mount holes for the instrumental drums for an industry partner HHG.
Bridge Buster A senior Penn State Altoona Electro-Mechanical Engineering Project Presentation by students Noah Reighard and Austin Stivanson.
Our project automates the testing and data collection of the popsicle stick bridge competition carried out in our EMET classes. The project allows for a more accurate and safe collection of the total weight and displacement of each bridge until failure.
Bass Guitar Tuner A senior Penn State Altoona Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology project presentation by student Ethan Cutshall.
The Automated Bass Guitar Tuner will accept the analog electrical signal directly from the instrument, as well as user inputs selecting the string and pitch to be tuned to. It will then safely and precisely tune the instrument via an electric motor and mechanical tuning peg interface to within ten cents of the desired note.
Energy Road Harvester A senior Penn State Altoona Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology project presentation by students Joshua Eshelman, Kyle Fink, and Andrew Sherren.
Harvesting mechanical vibrations produced by road traffic into electrical energy using piezoelectrics. The electrical energy produced is then used for low-power applications or grid powering.
Robot Arm A senior Penn State Altoona Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology project presentation by students Jacob Leydig, Skyler Moore, and John Telford.
A robotic arm with a claw-shaped manipulator that can be operated remotely via Bluetooth.
Electric Skateboard A senior Penn State Altoona Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology project presentation by students William Gardner, Cody Lohr, and Seth Shoup.
The project will be used as a mode of transportation. The goal is to produce a product that uses pressure sensors and a well-written program that allows for a fully functional board.
Tennis Ball Launcher A senior Penn State Altoona Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology project presentation by students Kirk Eichenlaub, Michael Novak, and Michael Schirf.
A dynamic tennis ball machine that is able to shoot 35 different shots onto the court at a variety of speeds and ball heights. Shots can be programmed using a touch screen PLC interface to practice up to three different shots in a loop to create drills.
