Research and Design Projects:
“Analysis of Why Projects Succeed Using Project Management”
It is a capstone project of Master degree in Engineering Management program. This project shows the reasons of project success. An extended literature review has been discussed in many different perspectives in order to have better understanding of project success.
“Ez Shopping Cart”
Ez Shopping Cart is an innovative product designed by our team in order to make the life easier. It has its own credit machine on it and you can pay with it without wasting your time on the line. All Enginering Management principles have been applied on the project from beginning to the end.
"Fuel Cell Vehicles Environmental Impacts Project Management Plan"
A 5 person team got together and planned to perform an assessment on the impacts related to creating a compact fuel cell system as a power source for multiple automobile manufacturers with using project management tools.
“Energy Independent Childcare Center at UHCL”
Systems Engineering Processes have been applied on the project by team in order to understand how its tools work.
"Hydrogen Production by NaBH4 Hydrolysis on Activated Carbon supported Co-B Catalyst"
This project is a Bachelor Thesis in Chemical Enginnering. By having some different CoB with different kind of activated carbon, some experiment conditions has been defined in order to produce hydrogen with a high rate. After many experiment, there is a speciific catalyst which has the best hydrogen production rate in the hydrogen production process.
"Hydrogen production by NaBH4 hydrolysis on CoB catalyst"
NaBH4 hydrolysis is one of the hydrogen production methods which is the easiest way to produce hydrogen. The ability of NaBH4 works with CoB catalyst will be the cheapiest and safe way to have hydrogen was investigated. Also, the other methods were discussed.
“Process of Ammonia Design with ASPEN Designer ”
The Design of an ammonia production plant, the cost analysis of an ammonia production facility, and environmental assessment for the facility were disscussed in this project.
