This senior project centers on the development of a solar-powered, portable water desalination plant designed to provide clean, usable water from seawater or contaminated sources. The system utilizes a combination of gravity filters and reverse osmosis systems to effectively purify the water. It includes an integrated water testing module that monitors pH and total dissolved solids (TDS) levels, ensuring the output meets safe drinking standards. Equipped with a user-friendly touch-screen interface, the unit is fully solar-powered and operates independently with a built-in battery, allowing functionality even in low sunlight. A digital water level indicator informs users of the remaining water capacity in the tank, enhancing its usability for remote or off-grid locations. This innovative desalination system offers a sustainable, efficient solution for clean water access in areas with limited resources. Diagrams, schematics, and code is found in the pdf report.

Mechatronics Systems Design Project - Bluetooth Controlled Smart House for Disabled Individuals

The Mechatronics System Design course project involved designing and building a scaled smart house model with accessibility-focused features for differently abled individuals. The house includes an elevator, security system, fountain, lighting, garage, and main gate, all controllable through a custom smartphone application. Developed with MIT App Inventor and utilizing Bluetooth technology, the app enables seamless control of the house’s features. The structure was designed in AutoCAD and CNC-cut for precision, with a control network managed by three interconnected Arduinos communicating via serial protocols. This project integrates mechanical, electronic, and software elements to create a functional model of an accessible, automated living space.
