For the winners of the top prize at ESPEX 2022, tackling an important regional issue for their senior design project paid off.
威廉G号. 赛克斯创新者和企业家奖, 哪个是2美元的,500年奖, was presented to a group of bet8体育娱乐入口 civil and environmental engineering and civil engineering technology students who collaborated with Hampton University architecture students in the development of adaptive design strategies to alleviate flooding in the Portsmouth's Port Norfolk neighborhood.
学生们参加了公民联盟会议, talked to community leaders and developed innovative green infrastructure ideas to alleviate flooding.
Using a Storm Water Management Model (SWMM), students proposed individual parcel and community-scale, 低影响发展方案, 包括雨水花园, and below and above ground street interventions.
They also designed a green roof for the community center, identified all potential upstream storage sites to hold water until flood events subsided and provided cost estimations for their recommended strategies.
“优秀的工作. Very good project," wrote Sykes on the judge's notes.
"This was a different experience for them as they had to communicate and make decisions across the two disciplines beyond their training,Mujde Erten-Unal说, associate professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and director of the Sustainable Development Institute. "We think they get a great sense of accomplishment seeing a project come together to positively impact their community."
More than 70 student projects were presented at ESPEX, the 巴顿工程学院 and 技术's student project expo, held April 26 in Chartway Arena at the Ted Constant Center.
The undergraduate senior designs and graduate research projects covered a wide range of subjects including a bi-axial cell stretcher (a device that can analyze how cells respond to stretches in controlled experiments), an automated elevator system used in radiator manufacturing and a helmet sensor that can detect and alert coaches when an athlete has taken a hit indicative of a concussion.
今年，多亏了STIHL公司. 和校友赛克斯, monetary prizes were offered for the best senior design and graduate research projects.
"STIHL's relationship with ODU's 巴顿工程学院 and 技术 has been a vital part of our success here in Virginia Beach,Andreas Garstenauer说, director of manufacturing engineering for 斯迪希公司. "The college is known for its focus on innovation and is a source of new engineering talent for us."
