| Seismic Analysis and Design of UVU Campus | The objective is to address the building's structural inadequacies and enhance its overall seismic resilience, thereby ensuring the safety and security of all occupants within UVU's campus infrastructure. Drawing upon insights gained in the preceding semester, during which we identified structures necessitating seismic retrofitting, this project will ultimately result in the development of a retrofit design specifically catered to rectify the seismic deficiencies inherent in the Gunther Technology building. | Thomas Anderson, Joe Benson, Caleb Norton, Glen Pool | UVU: Paul McMullin |
| Northridge Park Redesign | The objective of this project is to redesign and improve the existing Northridge Park, located at 1750 N 165 E Orem, Utah. As pickleball is an increasingly popular sport, it has become necessary to renovate one of the existing tennis courts into four pickleball courts. This will increase the activities available at the park while not depriving the community of the existing tennis court area. The specific boundaries are limited to the existing tennis courts and the immediate surrounding area. All other existing conditions such as the sidewalk, parking lot and nearby playground will remain in place where feasible. | Derik Carter, Tyler Conway, Taylor Kofford, Parker Stevens | City of Orem: Sam Kelly |
| 800 South and 800 West, Orem UT | The intersection of 800 South and 800 West in Orem, UT experiences traffic congestion, particularly during peak morning and afternoon hours, disrupting continuous traffic movements. This proposed project aims to address this issue by analyzing the existing traffic conditions at the intersection and designing a traffic control system to alleviate future congestion problems. Implementing this traffic control system will improve future traffic conditions around the Utah Valley University campus and create a safer intersection for pedestrian crossings. | Lindsay Helm, Robert Rydalch, Matthew Snyder | City of Orem: Sam Kelly |
| ASCE Concrete Canoe Competition | The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Concrete Canoe Competition provides students a unique opportunity to gain hands-on practical experience while testing their skills with concrete mix designs and project management challenges. This year's team goals are to create a canoe that hold successfully 4 people with an appropriate factor of safety, is a lightweight design, has a green color, and that the team aims to win a canoe race. during the competition in Logan, UT in April. | Alec Banton, Cody Gunn, Jacob Powell, Kaden Shephard, Brayson Wilcox | UVU: Amanda Bordelon |
| AISC Steel Bridge Competition | The AISC Steel Bridge Competition is an annual event held by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) where engineering students design, fabricate, and test to-scale bridge designs. The purpose is to give students a hands-on approach to learning not often seen in civil engineering. This year's team is required to design a bridge for a disc golf course under construction in Ruston, Louisiana. It is to span a man-made river, be accessible to employees and maintenance vehicles, and must not disturb the scenery of the park. Event rules limit the team members’ activity within the “river”, allowing players known as “barges” to temporarily enter the site. AISC judges will determine the winners of various sections, including bridge weight, aesthetics, load capacity, and time required to build. | Jackson Anderson, Lauryn Crofts, Rod Martinez | UVU: Paul McMullin |
| Redwood Road and Pioneer Crossing | Our design will focus on expanding the corridor on Redwood Road between Pony Express and Pioneer Crossing to alleviate traffic congestion. The Redwood Road Widening Project is set to transform the existing road into a seven-lane corridor, addressing critical traffic congestion issues along the stretch between mile post 30.994 and 31.772, covering 0.778 miles (4105 ft) from Pioneer Crossing and Pony Express Parkway. | Brandon Baker, Aaron Delgado, Erik Prazak, Day Rodriguez | UDOT Region 3: Andrew Gwynn, Steven Loveland, Jeffrey Huffman |
| Lake Bottom Canal Risk Mitigation | The City of Orem is looking to improve storm water infrastructure in the southwestern area of city limits. They would like to limit their discharge into the privately owned Lake Bottom Canal. The purpose of this project is to find solutions that integrate both statements, while compromising where necessary to best meet the needs of the city. The project will be in the southwest area of Orem along 2000 S from the Lake Bottom Canal at N 2700 W to the Southwest Taylor Drain. | Brayden Allen, Jacob Allen, David Aust, Justin Westwood | City of Orem: Sam Kelly |

| Electronic Autonomous Aircraft Tug (eTug) | Brett Stone, Matt Jensen | The electric, autonomous aircraft tug will enable aircraft to taxi from the terminal to the end of the runway without using their engines, thereby reducing emissions, noise, and improving safety and cost. After delivering the aircraft to the end of the runway, the tug will automatically disconnect and return to the terminal either via remote control or using a suite of sensors and navigation systems. | Jacob Beckett, Kelly Brooks, Cache Fulton, Brady Furr, Matthew Hanks, Kolby Hargett, Brian Leong, Riley Pinkham, Skyler Pinnock, Braden Powell, Jacob Ross, Ammon Traeden | Rocky Mountain Power Foundation |
| 3D Printed Shoes | Israd Jaafar | Design and manufacture an additive 3D printed solution for an orthopedic sole catered to a person's specific foot size and shape. | Zeph Barton, Alex Child, Julia Dalldorf, Mathew Jensen, Savannah Richards | UVU CET |
| Electric All-Terrain Vehicle (eTV) | Israd Jaafar | Design and build an electric all-terrain vehicle for adaptive riders. | Darwin Dender Cruz, Rod Guerrero, Matt Makin, Spenser Scholle, David Stanger, Tanner Walker | UVU CET |
| Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (SAE) | Matt Ballard | Design, build and demonstrate a small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) capable of competing in the ASE Aero Design West Competition. | Cade Denison, Samuel Francis, Garret Hunt, Andrew Hutchins, Jeremy McFadden, Kaleb Robb | UVU CET |
| Vein Compression Experimental Support System | Matt Ballard | Design, build and demonstrate a functional test system that applies time-varied compression in user-selected waveforms to the outside of 4 zones on a set of silicone venous valve models and reports the time history of applied pressure and vein deformation for each zone. | Tyler Ashton, Walker Eads, Parker Evans, Nainoa Isaacs, Kylee Schramm | Dr. Matt Ballard |
| Ping Pong Robot | Bo Yu | Design and fabricate an automated ping-pong playing robot. Build on and improve last year's design. | Scott Cole, David Dietz, Laef Elison, Taten McConahay, Cannan Prior, Rylan Sturm | UVU CET |
| Wind Power System | Abdennour Seibi, Masood Amin | Design a wind turbine that meets the requirements set for the Collegiate Wind Competition. | Ethan Akana, Cole Arenaz, Calvin Cox, Sarah Dayley, Christopher Hardwick, Auston Hatfield | UVU CET |
