Mathematical and Computer Modeling of Piezoresistive, Nano- Composite, High Deflection Sensors
R. Adam Bilodeau and Dr. David Fullwood, Mechanical Engineering Introduction Mechanical engineers are constantly seeking better ways to analyze structures and systems, including both flexible, biological materials and rigid, metal structures. However, accurate and inexpensive tools for measuring the changing length of highly flexible systems are difficult to come by. The BYU Nanocomposites research lab […]
Optimal Performance of an Emergency Bio-mass Cookstove
Cameron Bell and Dr. Matthew Jones, Mechanical Engineering The development of a light woodstove that is able to be conveniently packed is of great importance for anyone in an emergency situation. The ability to purify water by boiling it, cook food, and reduce food weight by bringing dry ingredients could dramatically increase the chances of […]
CNT Adhesion
Devan Anderson and Professor Brian Jensen, Mechanical Engineering Introduction Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) are grown on a silicon wafer that usually has had various metals deposited onto the surface. For many applications of CNTs it is desirable that the CNT arrays remain attached to the silicon wafer, however, thus far the CNT community has been unsuccessful […]
The Parent-Teacher Communication in Irapuato, Mexico
Jonathan Welling and Professor Erin Whiting, Teacher Education Introduction This study explores the perspectives of parents and teachers in their roles facilitating their student’s education and on the parent-teacher communication in public high schools in Irapuato, Mexico. This research provides contextual information for educational stakeholders in the United States about the parent-teacher communication in Mexico […]
Effects of Explicit Print Referencing on the Print Awareness of a Child with Severe Disabilities
Mallory Roberts and Professor Blake Hansen, Department of Special Education This great opportunity of being awarded an ORCA grant allowed me to pursue and share my research with others at an Applied Behavioral Analysis International Conference. I was able to take my research study and present it with many ABA professionals at the conference held […]
