Symposium Fontys Engineering

Students from Fontys University of Applied Sciences' engineering courses have joined forces in more than 18 challenging (ASIA) projects in recent months .

These projects are divided into projects, where the project group consists only of physics students and also projects where Fontys Applied Physics (TN) works together with (international) students from Fontys Engineering (mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, applied mathematics).

The assignments are realistic assignments for physical engineers. Some assignments are in collaboration with engineering, making multidisciplinary collaboration a possibility.

During the day, the KIVI-Fontys annual prize will be awarded for the best nominated projects. Five projects were nominated for this KIVI prize by the Fontys ASIA organisation.

Their results were presented online to the KIVI jury on Wednesday 7 July. This took place in a KIVI/Fontys event that preceded the Fontys symposium Engineering & Technology in Practice.

Project presentation students

These nominated projects are:

1- Aquaponics,

Objective:determining the amount of water in lettuce with a capacity.
of interest in Urban Farming.

2- Heat Battery

Purpose:Modelling of K2CO3 heat battery to determine theoretical efficiency.

3- OPsouth Polarization selective antennas

Aim: Detection of gas leaks due to deformation in the flanges of gas pipelines by analysing the optical response of glass fibres.

4- Heat sink tool

Aim: To create a tool to dimension heatsinks for cooling electronic components.

5- Pattern recognition

Aim: recognition of musical instruments based on sound samples with machine Learning methods.

The project teams showed a video pitch of their project and answered questions from the judges. A more detailed description of the projects can be found in the attached document.

The winner

The jury studied the reports of the projects. After the video pitch, there was an extensive (online) exchange of views with the teams. About technical questions but also about working methods and dealings in the project teams

All the projects made an excellent impression and were of good quality. With some difficulty, the jury decided on a winner and that is:

Winner: Heat Sink-Designing a calculation tool',


The project team is: Sander van Beuningen, Jesner van Gelder, Max Smulders, Richard Bens

Their pitch can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYxwFAbw6bY

Presentation of KIVI prize

Last weekend 22 October 2021, the belated award ceremony (by Corona) of the KIVI Fontys annual prize took place in the Fontys building Nexus (Campus Eindhoven).
The winnersSander van Beuningen, Jesner van Gelder, Max Smulders and Richard Bens were now actually allowed to receive the award.

Announcement

Students from Fontys University of Applied Sciences' engineering courses have joined forces in more than 18 challenging (ASIA) projects in recent months. These projects are divided into projects, where the project group consists only of physics students and also projects where Fontys Applied Physics (TN) works together with (international) students from Fontys Engineering (mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, applied mathematics).

The assignments are realistic assignments for physical engineers. Some assignments are in collaboration with engineering, making multidisciplinary collaboration a possibility.

The results will be presented on Wednesday 7 July during the Symposium Fontys project presentations students (Engineering in Practice).

During this day, the KIVI Fontys annual prize will be awarded for the best nominated projects.

Project presentation students

This meeting will be organised online. The students will first present their project after which questions can be asked by the jury members and participants. You can attend these presentations online.

We know from past meetings that the students really appreciate our presence (KIVI).

The programme will start with a short introduction about KIVI and continue with five consecutive presentations of the students' projects. At the end, the jury will give a short feedback for each project and then award the KIVI prize to the winner. The programme will be announced about 2 weeks in advance.

Nominated projects will be judged by the professional jury consisting of the lecturers and KIVI engineers.

A free student membership of the Royal Institute of Engineers (KIVI) will also be offered to the students who gave the presentations.

The symposium will be in English.

The Symposium Fontys Project presentations students is the former Fontys IPD Symposium (Integrated Product Development).

The students carry out assignments for industry.

Projects:

project no 1 Aquaponics Fontys code 012

project no 2 Heat Battery Fontys code 013

project no 3 OPzuid Fontys code 011

project no 4 Heat sink tool Fontys code M11

project no 5 Pattern recognition Fontys code 014

Project Summaries See here or to "Documents"

English version:

Students from various technical programmes at Fontys University of Applied Sciences have joined forces in more than 25 challenging projects over the past few months. The results will be presented on Wednesday 7th July during the Engineering in Practice Symposium. During this day HTSM prizes (of 300, 150 and 100 Euro) will be awarded to the top 3 projects and a student membership of the Royal Netherlands Society of Engineers (KIVI) A jury assesses the projects on technical content and innovative character.

You can vote on your favourite product/project during the project market.
