Research

The goal of this project was to understand manufacturability and control of a device used to generate electrical power from water flow in pipes to power sensors for smart water networks. 

The 2022-23 Ford SCOPE team focused on women in motorsports, with an emphasis on connecting with and building a future community among aspiring women in racing through digital channels. 

The 2022-23 SCOPE team collaborated with Giner Labs to improve the weight and volume of their proprietary electrolyzer oxygen generation system to lower costs and take up less valuable cargo room while maintaining a high degree of safety and reliability. 

The 2022-23 Dassault SCOPE team researched user journeys and created prototypes to reduce the complexity and provide a more seamless onboarding and discoverability experience for current and future customers of 3DEXPERIENCE Works. 

Avalanche Energy is working on new electrostatic confinement technology to make a bench top nuclear fusion generator. Our project is to design a compact high voltage power supply that can operate in the range of hundreds of kilovolts and interface with their preexisting system.

The 2022-23 FCAT SCOPE team developed Coin-Test, a publicly available, open-source Python library that provides a novel approach to evaluating cryptocurrency trading strategies.

Our project will review the manual complexity and risk assessment work in GCS, and recommend an automation framework by conducting data analysis and machine learning along with implementing a proof of concept using the framework. This will enable timely response to changes and aid in efficiently allocating GCS resources.

The 2022-23 Bose SCOPE team worked with Bose to infuse sustainability and product circularity across its global business operations.

The 2022-23 Brandeis SCOPE team overhauled the original Roshbash Lab FlyBox's hardware, assembly, and software, creating a robust and polished tool to track the behavior of genetically modified fruit flies over multiday periods.

In this project, our team will be working closely with Blue Origin to understand the standards and difficulties of PCB rework and designing a workstation to aid in this process. This station will be self-contained and easily accessible by the avionics team, reducing lead times wherever possible. Major challenges include understanding and designing around worker ergonomics and mitigating environmental hazards.  

This year's team worked to design a device to help technicians lift and transport batteries to work benches and installation locations.
