At the University of North Georgia’s Gainesville campus, the Engineering Club warps blueprints into reality, tests hypotheses and puts their creations to real-world use. They design, build and showcase imaginative projects, including rovers, robots, radios, servers, AI appliances, 3-D printers and PCs. They bring them to life with hands-on engineering learned within UNG’s walls and applied to everyday challenges. Our Nighthawk engineers have created an innovative environment where students can freely build their ideas into tangible mechanical achievements.Putting their gadgets where their mouth is, these behind-the-scenes forces are collaborating with UNG’s Department of Public Safety in their latest mechanical project. They’re launching UNG as a test bed to discover how emergency communication infrastructure works on an open-source radio platform. This idea grew out of a desire to give students an alternative way to communicate without phones in case of an emergency.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=4BHzi4_1GxIJqxy00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=4BHzi4_1GxIJqxy00" width="2001" height="1922" ><figcaption>Photo of a 3-D printer built by Engineering Club President Jacob Anaya.</figcaption></figure>Instead of reinventing the wheel, the Engineering Club focuses primarily on, “improving the wheel, and making it more circular, run smoother,” Jacob Anaya, Engineering Club President, emphasized when asked how the club decides on their next mechanical build. A standout collaboration for the club members was, hands down, the recycled unmanned ground rover. The club loosely redesigned this technological breakthrough after NASA’s “Curiosity” space rover, currently on Mars.This project was most influential for club member Genelle Estavada, who said, “My main goal for this prototype was to develop tires and suspension with a crawl capacity, preventing the wheels from getting stuck in natural spaces.” When working with fellow club members, Estavada said she likes to incorporate environmentally conscious twists. She utilizes her environmentally friendly ideas to collaborate with her club members on projects that support natural structures and eco-friendly resources.<blockquote>“We ask, ‘What can we improve? And when we can’t see anything to improve further, we reshape it completely.”– Jacob Anaya, Engineering Club President</blockquote>Engineering Club member Nathan Churquiralao poses a question for Nighthawks on the fence, deciding what type of engineer they want to become, “Which engineering field do you feel you can help the most in?”Engineering permeates from creating solutions to existing problems. Whatever students are passionate about, they can find their engineering niche, not to reinvent the wheel, but to make it run smoother. If you’re interested in turning ideas into real-life creations, the Engineering Club is calling you to action. The club meets Wednesdays at noon in the Science, Engineering, and Technology building on the Gainesville campus, room 213.</div></body>
