Undergraduate Research Opportunities

The Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at Grove City College offers students many opportunities to conduct meaningful, relevant research alongside experienced, published faculty. Students may conduct supervised research during their sophomore, junior, or senior years and have access to laboratories with state-of-the-art equipment and computer workstations.

Mobile Robots

Learn more about the mobile robots class offered by Grove City College's Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering and the unique independent research done by electrical engineering graduate Theo Stangebye '20.

ElectroHydroDynamic (EHD) Drying

A common step in food preparation is reducing the moisture content of food samples. ElectroHydroDynamic (EHD) drying reduces the energy required to do this by subjecting the sample to a high voltage electrostatic field which enhances the drying effect. Working with Dr. Mike Bright from electrical engineering and Dr. Erik Bardy from mechanical engineering, a student used a previous senior project to conduct research into EHD drying.

Printed Circuit Board

Working with Dr. Tim Mohr from electrical engineering, one of our students designed a printed circuit board to provide customized tremolo effects for electric guitars. The student researched the best ways to produce the special effect then developed a circuit to enhance current models in order to allow for more control. The student designed the circuit board, the controls, and the housing to bring it all together.

Force Plates

For a senior capstone project, a team of students designed and built two cost-effective force plates that will be used by the College’s athletic trainers. A force plate is a device used to measure the ground reaction forces generated by an athlete standing on or moving across the plate. Force plates are commonly used in biomechanics, sports science, and rehabilitation to analyze human movement patterns, assess balance and stability, and evaluate athletic performance. At Grove City College, the force plates will be used by athletic trainers to advise athletes on how they may train more effectively or to assess an athlete’s injury and recovery.
