Improving Enrollment of Female Engineers at NTB

This project contributed to the global effort to recruit women into STEM fields, focusing on Switzerland. The goal was to help NTB Buchs find ways to recruit more female students to their Systems Engineering program. The team interviewed women on NTB’s campus to better understand the culture of NTB, while also analyzing the effectiveness of the Girls’ Day event through observations and surveys. The project resulted in a set of proposals and recommendations for NTB

Acoustic Trilateration Search and Rescue Using Swarm Robotics

The goal of the project is to design and build a robotic system able to locate a sound source via trilateration between multiple mobile robots on the same field, overseen by a master controller. As they navigate the test environment, these robots will demonstrate time difference of arrival (TDOA)-based localization and communication over a wireless network. Although previous research has proven that sound localization is possible on a mobile platform, this concept has not yet been shown for multiple mobile units that must communicate between each other. The intended application of this system is to model robot-aided search-and-rescue or underwater sound mapping
