The Hydraulic Hybrid Team is comprised of Colorado State Universities best combination of mechanical and electrical engineers; as well as two students from Colorado State University's College of Business.. Both areas of engineering worke together to form a perfect masterpiece of mechanical systems that are controlled precicly by reliable controllers. The graduate level business students lend their expertice in market research and advertising.
The Team - Electrical/Computer Engineering
Nicholas Dang
Nicholas Dang is a Computer Engineering senior who is
contributing time to this project as an independent study course. He has expertice in computer programming and logic which aids in this project due to the intensive MATLAB code that must be generated in order to simulate this complex system.
Mike Neuberg
Mike Neuberg is an Electrical Engineering senior who has extensive experience with control systems. His expertice in the properties of control systems will greatly aid in this project due to the fact that the electrical engineering portion of this project is entirly controlling the mechanical system. With his help we will be able to design a reliable, effective control system that will allow this hydraulic hybrid vehicle to perform well and at a fuel conserving state.
Ryan Paccini
Ryan Paccini is a Junior Electrical Engineer who is contributing to this project as an independent study course. Ryan Paccini is the only Junior on the team who is taking the charge of the project management for the Electrical Engineering students, as well as he is persuing this project as as Senior Design project for the following semester.
Ryan Swing
Ryan Swing is a Senior Electrical Engineering student who is starting his Senior Design project this semester. He is mainly in charge of creating and maintaing the web page with current and acurate information. He is also experienced with MATLAB coding which will aid in the effecient design of sontrol systems. Also he is taking charge of all comuter technology that is used and purchased for this project. He is ensuring that all of the software and hardware is ready and ooperational when needed.
Evan Vleck
Evan Vleck is a senior who is contributing to this project as an independent study course. He has extensive experience in control systems as well as creating, editing, and simulating MATLAB models in Simulink. This is the main software package that will be used in this project in order to simulate the system. As well as with the MotoTron software, Evan will be able to download the models that are created directly to the hardware that will control the system.
