Individualized hands-on training on state-of-the-art equipment and trainers used in the industry. Small class sizes which make a difference. Excellent part-time job opportunities for EET junior and seniors in local industries including John Deere Waterloo Works and Rockwell-Collins Inc. Articulation agreements with selected Iowa Community Colleges. Excellent scholarship opportunities Senior Projects/Involving National Solar Electric Boat/Robotics Design Competitions Sustainability related Applied Research Projects Project #1 UNI eboat Objective: Worldwide there are more than 22 M pleasure boats & nearly 13 M of them are registered in N. America. Worldwide annually 236,000 metric tons of oil & oil products from average pleasure boats is leaked into the water, equivalent to more than 7 times the amount spilled by the Exxon Valdez in Alaska in Aware of agricultural pollution in Iowa's lakes and rivers, however, oil and gas leaks from boats also require to develop eco-friendly boat technologies Developed for a ZERO EMISSION eco-friendly boat for Iowa lakes & rivers!

4 2008 Project # 2 Eco-Friendly Lawn Mower UNIMow John Gregorich & R. Pecen EET Senior Design project Operating a gas mower for 1 hr produces the same pollution as driving a car 1300 miles. Each weekend, about 54 M Americans mow their lawns, using 800 M gallons of gas per year. An EPA study found that ~ 9 % of some types of air pollutants nationwide come from lawn & garden equipment small engines. In 1 hr mowing, 26 different pollutants were found in the exhaust of the mowers. Does solar power help to mow? Engine is composed of a motor, battery and PV Panels Circuit Design 70A UNIMow Test Drive: Saturday, April 21, Earth Day (April 22) Celebration in Waterworks Park, Des Moines.

5 2008 Project # 3 UNI Wind-Solar Hybrid Power & Instrumentation Station (since 2000) 1.5 kw Generates 4,380 kwh electricity per year. Saves 6,351 pounds of CO 2 per year. Min 423 trees would be required to offset these yearly emissions. An excellent testbed to renewable energy education at UNI. Sponsors: CEEE, CNS SOAR Grants, Industrial Tech. Dept.

However, if the sample rate is high (10Hz or above), sensor nodes could not go to sleep and thus the lifetime is very limited. Small scale energy harvesting from the ambient environment is very attractive to implement a selfsustainable system Jin Zhu, U. of Northern Iowa [email protected] 5
