Into the Garden: Environmental Education and Resources for K-5

Creator:: Smith, Amira R.
Abstract:: This thesis aims to address barriers that K-5 educators face when implementing environmental education in classrooms. An in-depth study of the history of environmental education in the United States identifies primary barriers and issues. Focusing specifically on garden education programs, six lesson plans for K-5 were created to address the...

Using the Rotorwash of a Quadcopter Drone to Remove Dust from a Solar Panel

Creator:: Holman, Samantha K.
Abstract:: The electrical output of solar panels is reduced when dust covers the panels, but the air movement produced by a flying drone can be used to remove this debris. This research project will study the effectiveness of a quadcopter drone in dusting a solar panel. A solar panel was covered...

A Comparative Analysis of Mercury and Lead in Sindoor from the U.S. and Bangladesh

Creator:: Breen, Anna K.
Abstract:: Heavy metals have historically been popular for use in cosmetics manufacturing due to the colorful pigmentation of heavy metal compounds. In the case of sindoor, a cosmetic used by married Hindu women for religious purposes, mercury sulfide, lead tetroxide, and lead chromate are compounds suspected to still be involved in...

Achilles Assistance Device as a Passive Ankle Foot Orthosis for Achilles Tendon Injuries

Creator:: Gonnerman, Evan J.
Abstract:: An Achilles tendon injury can be devastating. Surgical methods to bring the muscle to full strength are not always available. Proposed is an ankle foot orthosis (AFO) that is entirely passive (does not add energy to the system) and uses the mechanical advantages provided by the walking gait of a...

Engineering Design Matrix for Carbon Fiber Monocoque Chassis Selection

Creator:: Zuck, Austin L.
Abstract:: The Formula Society of Automotive Engineers (FSAE) has provided a platform for teams like Oregon State’s own Global Formula Racing Team (GFR) to produce a formula style race car and compete with other schools across the world. The GFR team has used the same carbon fiber monocoque chassis since the...

Chassis Design for the Global Formula Racing Team

Creator:: Powell, Zach L.
Abstract:: For the 2019 season, a new chassis layup was designed that is much stronger than in previous years, yet only slightly heavier. Compared to the baseline steel tube frame, the 2019 chassis has safety factors of about 110% for most zones. Also, a new impact attenuator was designed that absorbs...

Analysis of the Feasibility of Thermoelectric Energy Harvesters used on the Human Body for the Powering of Wearable Electronic Devices

Creator:: Smith, Richard I.
Abstract:: Wearable electronic devices are becoming increasingly widespread and are being used to fulfill a variety of needs. These devices range from purely infotainment type systems such as smartwatches and fitness oriented devices to specialized medical devices such as insulin pumps and heart-rate monitors. A challenge faced with all of these...

Qualitative Analysis of Maxwell-Duffing Models in Nonlinear Optics

Creator:: Tro, Sara K.
Abstract:: In this thesis we analyze a model for Kerr optical materials consisting of Maxwell's equations along with the dispersive Duffing model. We consider Duffing models with cubic and quintic polynomial nonlinearities. We assume a traveling wave solution to this nonlinear electromagnetic system and analyze it using the theory of dynamical...

“Only a little longer, right?” : oral histories of the Oregon State University Wind Ensemble during the COVID-19 pandemic

Creator:: Gibbs, Madeline
Abstract:: Music performance and education faced unique barriers during the COVID-19 global pandemic which made it nearly impossible to effectively implement online learning. To better understand these barriers and what improvements might be made during future pandemics that entail periods of isolation, I collected the oral histories of eight Oregon State...
