Associate professor in mechanical engineering Jake Abbott received a $15,000 one-year grant from Blackrock Microsystems for a senior design project titled ‘Rodent Tracker.’
The deliverables for the project are:
- A prototype overhead tracking system capable of preventing rodent wiring entanglement
- A data feedback system to collect data from rodent positions
- A documentation package and report detailing the design
