Theproject has two parts: remanufacturingintermedullary (IM) nails that weredonated to the hospital but were toolong to be used by the Kenyan people,and manufacturing Cedarville’s ownbrand of fracture fixation nails.Students worked for over two yearsdesigning and analyzing the “CUnail.” With the help of some generousdonations, the plan, as described bythe project’s advisor Tim Norman Ph.D.,Professor of Mechanical Engineering,was to pursue remanufacturing nailsusing local machine shops workingin the biomedical field and to securea manufacturer for Cedarville’s nails.Funds were sufficient to remanufacture90 donated nails and to produce about12 trial CU nails at the cost of about 20,000. The 90 donated nails werefinished with the help of recent graduateLeah Pernicano ’12. However, theteam was having difficulty securing amanufacturer for the CU nails.“We were getting turned down fromevery manufacturer we contacted,”Norman explains. “The financial bottomline was not enough to motivate acompany to retool for our project. Wewere proposing too few units that couldvary from year to year depending ondonations and funds available fromKenya and the U.S.”After nearly two years of being turneddown, Norman finally decided thatthe team would no longer pursueproduction of the CU nail. After thisannouncement, the team beganlooking at their options for supplyingnails to Tenwek Hospital in Kenya.These options included continuingto remanufacture donated nails andlooking for a foreign supplier of new IMnails of high quality but at reduced cost.Within a week of that announcement,Dr. Dan Galat, a missionary surgeonat Tenwek, learned that nearly 500 IMnails were being donated to the hospital,300 of which needed remanufacturing.“These 300 nails will last us nearly fiveyears,” said Galat. At the current costto remanufacture the nails, it will takeabout all of the 20,000 remaining toremanufacture these 300 nails.1“It’s amazing how God worked in thissituation,” remarked Norman. “Insteadof spending all our money on 12 samplenails, we are using the money to put300 nails to use. That means 300 peoplewill hear the Gospel that might not haveotherwise heard it. I guess God feltthat this was the better way to use theavailable funds.”While the team continues to pray for along-term solution, they have learnedhow God can work in circumstancesthat seem beyond our control when wewait on Him.“ cademics at Cedarville are tough,Abut there is a lot of support and it’sworth the effort. Cedarville not onlytrains a person to succeed in theirmajor, but also to be a well-roundedperson. Upon graduation, I will beequipped to be a leader whereverGod sends me.”Quinton Paul ‘13Mechanical EngineeringKaty, Texas
Efficient Vehicle Team Continues to GrowCedarville University’s Efficient VehicleTeam entered three vehicles in the 2012Shell Eco-marathon Americas competition.Along with two Prototype division cars,Gold Lightning and Sting, for the first timethe team designed and built a vehicle forthe new Urban Concept division, createdby Shell to challenge students to designand build fuel-efficient vehicles that looksimilar to cars we see every day.Vehicles in the Urban Concept divisionmust have four automobile-size wheels,a minimum length, width, and height, andaccessories such as windshield wipers.In contrast, Prototype division cars aredesigned for optimum aerodynamicefficiency, resulting in cars that are sleek,low, and skinny and require drivers toalmost lie down in the car. They do nothave head lights, turn lights, or trunk spaceand typically have only three bicyclewheels. They look like small airplaneswithout wings.The Cedarville team also used threedistinct types of drivetrains this year:a conventional fuel-injected gasolinecombustion engine, an all-electric drivetrain, and a hybrid-electric drive train.Urban Concept VehicleStingEight mechanical engineering seniorstackled this project for their senior designproject, and four electrical engineeringseniors developed a hybrid-electricdrivetrain for the vehicle. Both teamsexperienced real-world engineeringchallenges and real deadlines. The teamcame close to having the car ready fortechnical inspection, but encountered anunexpected problem at the last minute.This year’s team continued the work ofthe 2011 team, which designed and built acarbon fiber chassis for the body of the allelectric vehicle. This year’s team designeda new front suspension and steeringsystem for the vehicle, but complicationsat competition forced them to reinstallthe original solid axle suspension. Theteam took third place in competition byachieving 222.9 km/kwh.Gold LightningThank You to Our Sponsors and DonorsThis year’s team built upon the designof previous teams’ work on this vehicle.They dyno tested and tuned the newestengine in the fleet, made advances on thewireless data link between the cars on thetrack and the pit crew, and developed alaser wheel alignment fixture to align thehighly cambered front wheels. The teamwas able to achieve 1215.7 mpg, whichwas good enough for fifth place in thecompetition. Ashland Chemical The Elliot Company Airplane Plastics Industrial Fiberglass Specialties, Inc.

We rejoice in the Lord for the many waysthat He has blessed us again during the 2011–2012 academicyear and are pleased to share some of our highlights with you.To quote from ourdepartment visionstatement, we“seek to honor theLord Jesus Christ inevery endeavor andearnestly desire tocultivate technicalprofessionals whoare committed tomoral excellence,a n d who areexemplary incharacter, conduct,and skill.” As youread this newsletter,you will see howwe live out ourvision statement on a day-by-day basis. Whether setting thefoundation through lectures, or putting engineering to practicein design competitions or laboratory exercises, we strive toprovide our students with an excellent education founded onbiblical principles and morals. The effort put forth is clearlypaying dividends.Although most people never give it a thought, it is hard toimagine our world without engineers and computer scientists.It is very easy, for example, to always expect the next cellphone or GPS unit to be better, faster, smaller, or “cooler” thanthe one before it. What is forgotten is that there is an armyof engineers and computer scientists behind the design ofevery new gadget. From the electronics that enable the phoneto communicate wirelessly, to the software that makes it“cool,” to the nifty sliding door that exposes a hidden keypad,each is a design masterpiece. Here at Cedarville, we offermajors in electrical, computer, and mechanical engineeringand in computer science; the same disciplines that are mostapplicable to many of today’s marvels.As you read this newsletter, you will not see our studentsdesigning cell phones, but you will see how well prepared theyare to tackle very difficult problems. From winning awards fortechnical presentations to designing and competing with boats,planes, robots, and cars, our students continue to demonstratehow well our programs are preparing them. But don’t take ourword for it, read through this newsletter and discover it foryourself.Sincerely,Sam SanGregory, Ph.D.Chair, Elmer W. Engstrom Department of Engineeringand Computer Science3
Teams Continue Aero Design Successrequirements set by the SAE. There arethree divisions: Open, Regular, and MicroClass. Micro Class requires a lightweight,efficient flight, while the Regular Classrequires a primary focus on maximumlifting capability. A winning score requirespoints from each of three categories:flying, presentation, and a design report.Cedarville University engineering studentshave been competing in the SAE AeroDesign competition for over two decadesand have placed in the top five multipletimes. In 2012, two Cedarville teams soughtto continue that success.A senior design team, Andrew Dirks ‘12,Daniel Lewis ‘12, Andrew Schrank ’12,Danny Staudt ’12, and their advisor, TimNorman, Ph.D., Professor of MechanicalEngineering, made history at the 2012SAE Aero Design competition by beingthe first team to introduce a glider into thecompetition. A change in the rules for the2012 Micro Class competition opened thedoor for the team to begin researching anddesigning its glider. An underclassmanteam made up of Byambadorj Bird ‘13,Daniel Cape ‘15, Mark Edmonson ’15, andJohn Morton ‘14 also competed with amore tradition design.The goal of the Aero Design competitionis to design, build, and fly a remote controlaircraft within design and performanceThe students receive design requirementsin August, at the start of the schoolyear. The teams design their plane fromSeptember to December, build it duringJanuary and February, and perform testingduring the month of March to prepare forthe April competition.For the glider to be successful for thesenior design team, it had to be very light(less than half a pound), have a high glideratio (at less 20 feet of horizontal distancefor every foot loss of vertical distance), andhave an elastic launch system that wouldpropel it high enough to complete thecourse. These were large challenges for ateam that lacked experience with gliders.The team worked tirelessly using all theresources they had to obtain a successfulflight, including flight testing in the DodenField House in the Recreation Centerwhere they could avoid wind gusts thatwould contaminate the glide ratio data.The team’s experience at the competitionnear Atlanta, Georgia, was bittersweet.While the team could boast of launchingand flying the first glider ever incompetition, they were not successfullaunching the plane high enough tocomplete the full circuit of the coursebecause of less than optimal air fieldconditions.The underclassman team experiencedsome success at the competition. Whilea crash on the first day of competitionprevented their plane from achieving itsdesign maximum with only five roundsof flying, even after an overnight rebuild,this team earned third place in the MostPayload Lifted category with their handlaunched design. Achieving this awardwas a major victory for this young group ofengineering students.According to Norman, both teams cancount themselves as successful becauseof the major hurdles they had to overcometo successfully fly their planes, and thereal-world experience they received.“The competition gives students exposureto situations they might encounter in thereal word such as working on a team,communication of ideas, and workingunder pressure,” stated Norman. Headded, “It also gives Cedarville Universitystudents interested in aviation an outletto develop their skills in aeronauticalengineering.”TechFestEight engineering students fromCedarville participated at TechFest 2012in Dayton, a fun, family event that exposesyoung people to science, technology,engineering, and math (STEM). Theevent hosted 70 hands-on STEM exhibits,demonstrations, and games.times more resistive than regular playdough when mixed with sugar. The groupexplained and demonstrated basic series/parallel circuits using LEDs and the playCedarville students manned a booth thatdemonstrated basic circuit theory usingconductive play dough. When mixedwith salt, play dough has sufficient freeelectrons to make a good conductor (twiceas conductive as regular play dough). Onthe other hand, play dough is about 1504dough. They also built a circuit using a555 timer that produced different toneson a speaker depending on the variableresistance of the play dough. The kidsthat visited the table loved the hands-onexperience the exhibit gave them, makingthe day worthwhile and rewarding for theteam.
Cedarville Roboboat Team Makes StridesA team of Cedarville electrical engineeringstudents and one robotic boat traveled toVirginia Beach, Virginia, to compete inthe fifth annual International RoboboatCompetition sponsored by the Associationf o r U n m a n n e d Ve h i c l e S y s t e m sInternational (AUVSI) and the Office ofNaval Research. This competition requiresstudents to build a small autonomoussurface vessel capable of navigating anaquatic course and completing varioustasks while controlled by its onboardcomputers.The Cedarville entry was built andprogrammed by students over the courseof the 2011–2012 school year. The designincorporated live video for locating coloredbuoys and channel markers as well asa digital compass and GPS system toaugment navigation. All of the sensor datais fed into an onboard laptop computerthem a berth in the wildcard run to be heldthe next day. With some revisions to thenavigation computer code, the boat wasable to navigate the speed gates and animpressive six channel gates during thewildcard run very nearly catching theVirginia Tech boat for a slot in the finals.that makes all navigational decisions forthe boat. The navigation software waswritten by students and comprised morethan 3,000 lines of computer code.Since this was Cedarville’s second yearto participate in the competition, studentswere able to build upon the lessonslearned in a previous competition. Duringqualifying, the Cedarville boat successfullynavigated through the speed gates andthen through four channel gates earning“I’m extremely happy with the progresswe made this year,” reflected team advisorTim Tuinstra, Ph.D., Associate Professorof Electrical Engineering. “To build anykind of autonomous system is extremelydifficult and takes a great amount ofingenuity and innovation. These studentshave made significant strides toward thatgoal. I look forward to what we’ll be ableto do in the 2013 competition building onthe groundbreaking work accomplished bythis dedicated team.”Fastest Handoff in the West Earns Third Placea black line on a whitefloor. It would then haveto hand off the golf ballto the second robot,which would continuearound the same track. Around is complete whenthe robots have run fourlaps, two by each robot,with three hand-offs inbetween.A team of 13 engineering studentsentered robots in the American Society ofEngineering Education (ASEE) AutonomousRobot Competition, held in June 2012 inSan Antonio, Texas. Focusing their effortson speed and reliability, the team namedtheir robots “Coyote” and “Road Runner”after the fast-chasing cartoon characters.The team had a big challenge to meetfor the competition. They would have todesign a robot that would carry a golf ball(signifying a mail bag used by the ponyexpress) around an 8 x 8-foot curving trackwith both a white line on a black floor andThe team knew earlyon that it needed to work on speeding upthe robot from previous years. In 2011,Cedarville’s team earned fourth place witha track time of 25 seconds. The first placeteam had a time of 9.5 seconds, so theyknew they would have to increase theirspeed in order to win. The 2012 team didjust that. With significant changes to thedrive train and motor control systems,along with some great programming anda software proportional and derivativecontrol algorithm, the team’s robotcompleted a single lap in about 9 seconds,more than two and a half times faster5than the previous year. A conveyor beltlift system and spring-loaded deliverymechanism to a large hopper allowedthe robots to transfer the ball safely withsignificant miss aliment, and faster thanany other team in the competition.The team designed a custom-printedcircuit board to house the neededelectronics and provide the connections,sensors, logic, and a socket for the motorcontrollers. This compact design keptthings neat, light, and reliable.Because the overall team score was thesum of four independent runs, reliabilitywas a high priority. Coyote and RoadRunner performed well in competition,correctly functioning in three of the fourrounds. In the first round, the receivingrobot had its lift paddle in the wrongspot and was unable to receive the passfrom the lead robot. Although this wasdisappointing, other teams had similarissues. Cedarville’s robot pair ended withthe third fastest time and won the thirdplace prize in the competition.
Solar Boat Team Tops All Universities in Netherlands RaceThe Cedarville University Solar Boat teamoutraced all other universities at theDong Energy Solar Challenge (DSC) in theNetherlands. Cedarville took third place inthe Top Class, behind only two professionalboats.Cedarville University has maintained“world-class” status in solar boat racingover the past decade, winning the SolarSplash World Championship six times, andnow placing first among universities in theDong Solar Challenge.The DSC is a six-day, 220 km solar boatrace that follows the course of the famousElfstedentocht, a skating race aroundthe province of Friesland. Over 40 boatsraced in this challenging competitionwith teams coming from the Netherlands,Finland, Poland, China, Brazil, and Turkey.Cedarville had the only boat from the U.S.The Top Class is for the fastest and mostcompetitive boats.The success of the team depends oncommitment and ingenuity; the project isdesigned and built by students under thesteady guiding hand of a very involvedfaculty. The students provide the diligence,time, and willingness to learn, whilefaculty members provide the vision, skills,motivation, and accountability. Dewhurstexplains that this culture creates an“internship” feel to the project and is “whyCedarville can compete with any universityin the world.”None of this is possible without God’sblessing; all we do, we do for his glory,and freely confess that our success istotally due to God’s grace. While God haschosen to bless us, we acknowledge alsothe huge commitment from the students,faculty, university trustees, and sponsors.Each year a new team of mechanicalengineering seniors undertakes the taskof continuing this legacy. This past year11 seniors averaged over 20 hours perweek on the project during the schoolyear and after graduation a large portionof the team worked almost daily for twomonths. Tim Dewhurst, Ph.D., Professor ofEngineering, is the overall project advisor.Gerry Brown, Ph.D., Associate Professorof Engineering, co-advises the projectand provides the guidance necessary toallow mechanical engineering students toundertake complex electrical engineeringproblems. This year Jay Kinsinger,Assistant Professor of Engineering, alsoworked with the team to provide essentialexpertise on manufacturing issues.The BoatCedarville’s DSC entry had severalinnovative features, designed and builtby the students, which allowed it to finishahead of all other universities. In additionto a hull design and motor from 2010, the2012 boat included: F lexible, lightweight solar panelsdesigned and built by Tom Poore ’12 A lightweight carbon fiber hull withconstruction led by Jordan Oakes ’12 A highly efficient propeller designedand manufactured by Sam McLeod ’12 A complex commercial Li-ion batterypackage, designed by Zak Zieglar ’12,integrated with a printed circuit board,designed by Andy Koch’12, for dataprocessing and energy managementsystem I ntegrated microcontrollers, GPS unit,and data recording designed by KirstenNicolaisen ’12 A hybrid peak power tracker (PPT) tooptimize solar power managementusing modified commercial PPTs andincorporating custom hardware PPTdesigned by Tim Ronco ’12, building onthe work of Mike Loosa ’10.

Yeh did not have much boatProfessor Joins International Solar Boat Racing CommunityTim Dewhurst, Ph.D., Professor ofEngineering, was selected to be the DongEnergy Solar Challenge Ambassador to theAmericas. Dewhurst, already a member ofthe faculty advisory board for Solar Splash,was selected because of experience withinternational boat racing and the continuedsuccess of Cedarville’s Solar Boat Teamin the Solar Splash World Championships.6As ambassador, Dewhurst will activelypromote international solar boat racing andencourages teams from the U.S. to competein the Netherlands.During the Dong Solar Challenge, Dewhurstmet with 18 others from around the world tocoordinate solar boat racing throughout theworld, including the U.S., the Netherlands,Brazil, Italy, and Bahrain.
driving experience, but he was a quicklearner and had a good understanding ofall the parts of the boat. While Yeh drove,his support team of Koch and Nicolaisenplotted his GPS location on their mapsand determined how fast he should driveto optimize boat speed and battery range.This was done as Brown maneuvered theirvan and 20-foot trailer through the tinytowns along the Friesland waterways inorder to reach the boat at all stops.Dewhurst chronicles the team’s progressduring the race: D ay 5 – Franeker to Dokkum (44 km).This was a long day in a heavy rain.The team was able to manage energywell and sustain the race through therain. Cedarville was able to advanceagainst all other teams except theleader and finished the day in secondplace. D ay 6 – Dokkum to Leeuwarden (28km).This final, short leg was not suited toCedarville. The boat could not drainits batteries by the end of the race.Although Cedarville had the secondshortest time of all the boatsthat finished all legs of therace, competition rulesallowed the Private Energyboat to have a faster timethan Cedarville. The team wasecstatic to finish third overallThe Outcomes D ay 1 – By the end of the day, one ofthe fastest boats had dropped outwith a “blown motor” and severalothers had lost time with weeds in theirhydrofoils. D ay 2 – Sloten to Bolsward (56 km).The race wound through the citiesof Balk, Stavoren, Hindeloopen, andWorkum, before finishing in Bolsward.The fastest boat in the competition,Private Energy, burnt out its motor andwas unable to finish the leg. Cedarvilleagain finished the day in third place. D ay 3 – Rest Day in Bolsward. Theteam worked on fixing problemswith the peak power trackers whileanswering questions from the publicduring Energy Valley Days. D ay 4 – Bolsward to Franeker (30 km).Cedarville’s batteries had almost asmuch energy storage capacity as thfaster boats, but their power limitationswould not allow them to deliver energyrapidly. This was a real problem whengoing under bridges; the solar powerwould suddenly disappear and thesystem would sometimes shut down.Cedarville ended the day in fourthplace.According to Dewhurst, competinginternationally is extremely challengingand is a costly venture in terms of moneyand time. Despite that, he sees theexperience as beneficial because it: P rovides students with theopportunity to interact withand learn from differentcultures. P rovides opportunities torepresent Christ. F urther establishes thecredibility of Cedarville’sengineering program asworld-class. P romotes the name ofCedarville across the globe.Solar SplashWhile the boat team focused on competingin the Netherlands at the DSC, Cedarvillehad another team that defended its SolarSplash World Championship title. Teammembers worked hard to prepare for thecompetition: Will Sorensen ’12 focused onredesigning the drivetrains to achieve asignificant weight reduction; Eric Lamb ’12developed a new Sprint propeller; and BenYeh ’12 made a second motor, a duplicateof the highly successful motor built by RyanHokuf ’10.Before competition the team was able toachieve sprint speeds of over 29 mph withthe new Sprint propeller, the fastest it hasever reached. However, at competition,the boat never exceeded 22 mph, whichwas a serious setback in the quest towin a seventh Solar Splash title. Air wasreaching the propeller, and it could notgenerate enough thrust. The team madeseveral on-site changes to regain thehigher speeds, nothing was effective andthe team fell behind.The last day of the competition was thepremiere event, the four-hour Endurancerace. Here, Cedarville delivered oneof the most dominant performances inSolar Splash history, beating the closestcompetitor by almost five miles. For thisevent, the team used a new propellerdesigned by Sam McLeod ’12. Theincredible performance in the high-scoringEndurance event allowed Cedarville toleap-frog over all other teams except one,Istanbul Technical University.Cedarville’s team ended the competitionwith first place in both the Enduranceevent and the Technical Report, secondplace in the Solar Slalom, third place inQualifying and Visual Display, and secondplace overall.Thank You to Our Sponsors and Donors JMS Composites ATK Ashland Advanced Circuits Enersys Laser Laminations Plascore Airtech Trojon Gear PerformancePaints Rexco7 SuperiorManufacturingGroup Dayton PhoenixGroup Castle Creations Vacuum Schmelze Digilent Red Lion SparkfunElectronics EnduranceTechnologies EcoDirect
