Student Competitions
Spotlight on our 3 Design Vision Challenge winners. Working with a team of DEED Directors, Shraddha Joshi, Rachana Gupta, and Kris Jaeger-Helton formulated the Design Vision Competition with a Pre-COVID Theme of Design Disruption. Each of these Awardees chose a unique topic and a different medium to present a potential emerging disruptive change or initiative that impacts engineering design and education. Each of them presented in a special time slot in a DEED Session at ASEE 2021!
TO the 2021 Award Winners for the 2021 American Society for Engineering Education DEED Design Vision Competition n ‘Disruptors in Design: Engineering Education Effects’. Congratulations on your creativity, insight and vision for the future of engineering education.
1. SIMRAN MOOLCHANDANEY, smoolcha@nd.edu (F)
a. Undergraduate, Individual: Computer Science, University of Notre Dame, athlete in fencing
b. App: App to assist student athletes in staying organized, not only helps with efficiency
c. “Soar in sports and succeed at school, systematically and simultaneously…”
d. Committee notes for site and the ASEE session: This app also supports short-term and long-term success by building accountability and good habits in a customized way. We WILL need to continue to prepare our engineers to apply design to their lives in ways that challenge and reward them for their efforts. In addition, the app you have developed can be of great service to others in your situation.
2. JOHN BARHAM, jab148@latech.edu (M)
a. Undergraduate, Individual: Louisiana Tech University, Mechanical Engineering
b. Video: “Disruptive Changes: The Need for Interstellar Travel”
c. Creating a spotlight on the need for extraterrestrial colonization in engineering education.
d. Committee notes for site and the ASEE session: Inspirational, creative, and compelling. We WILL need to continue to prepare our engineers to push the boundaries of our current knowledge domain in this area and look to the future!
3. LEO BRODY, lbrody@ncsu.edu (M)
a. Graduate, Individual: Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, North Carolina State University
b. Poster: Disruptive Changes: A Chemical Looping-Based Catalytic Converter
c. An improved catalytic converter for vehicle emissions control that adopts a chemical looping scheme in order to avoid using precious platinum group metal catalysts.
d. Committee notes for site and the ASEE session: This design shows great technical depth. Its role in emissions control through the application of chemical engineering concepts not only advances the way we produce energy, it also supports efficiency. We WILL need to continue to prepare our engineers to add to the body knowledge domain in this area and beyond!
