Three teams of Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology mechanical engineering seniors combined educational opportunities with international relations in presenting their capstone design projects at the Global Capstone Design Fair, part of South Korea’s E2Festa engineering education festival.
And, one team earned the Excellence Prize for their scale model prototype of a self-contained aquaponics device that may contribute to Ivy Tech College’s proposed aquaculture program.
Aquaculture is now considered one of the world’s fastest-growing forms of food production, based upon the popularity of commercially produced fish. It is also being considered as a source of energy production.
Bo Geyer, Nate Michael and Matthew White have spent this academic year developing components for a self-sustained recirculation system that takes waste produced by the farmed fish to provide nutrients for plants. These plants in turn help purify the water for the fish, while producing vegetables and fruits. The fish are harvested once grown to a suitable size and weight.
“Really, our system is taking energy from the circulating water system, which otherwise would be wasted, and using it to help complete the cycle,” says Michael, from Madisonville, Ky., who is also majoring in chemical engineering."mechanical" - Google News
