Student Projects

In this project, the student Gayth Yunis, in his first year of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department at Gulf University, used Arduino and the sensor DHT11, which is designed to measure the humidity and temperature of a given area. The measured values are displayed on an LCD screen. We can adjust the brightness of the screen with the potentiometer.

All in all, the Temperature and Humidity Sensor is a great device to measure temperature and humidity in any given environment. With its easy-to-use interface, robust design, and reliable reading accuracy, it makes taking accurate readings a breeze. Whether you’re using this to keep track of the weather in your area or to measure the temperature inside your home, the Temperature and Humidity Sensor is the perfect device for the job.

In this project, the student proposed an innovative solution for earthquake detection. This solution combines various components to create a comprehensive system that can effectively detect and alert people about earthquakes. 

The main component of this system is the ADXL 345 accelerometer, which is a highly sensitive device capable of measuring vibrations and accelerations accurately. This accelerometer acts as the primary sensor that detects the seismic activity caused by earthquakes. 

To provide a visual indication of earthquake detection, an LCD screen is incorporated into the system. This screen will display relevant information such as the intensity of the earthquake and its location, ensuring that users have access to real-time data. In addition to the LCD screen, an alarm buzzer is included in the system. When an earthquake is detected, the buzzer will sound, alerting individuals in the vicinity about the potential danger. This audible alert serves as an effective means of notifying people even if they are not actively monitoring the LCD screen. 

Furthermore, an LED light is integrated into the system to provide a visual alert. The light will flash or change color when an earthquake is detected, creating a visual cue that can be easily noticed, especially in low-light or noisy environments. 

The student has developed an innovative 5-degree-of-freedom robot arm powered by an Arduino UNO. The arm exhibits exceptional mobility, enabling it to deftly move and transport objects between specified locations (point A to point B).  

The student project involves creating an advanced irrigation system that can automatically water plants based on their moisture levels. This means never forgetting to water or over-watering your plants, which results in healthier, happier plants. The key element of this system was a moisture sensor, which detects when the soil is dry and activates a water pump to nourish the plant. The main board used was an Arduino Uno, which served as the brain of the system. It was responsible for receiving data from the humidity sensor, processing it, and sending signals to the water pump and the LCD screen. 

Students of the Electrical & Electronic Engineering Program at the College of Engineering presented their in-course projects entitled “Humidity and Temperature Sensor” & “Intelligent Lighting” and “Arduino soil Moisture Control System”. It was a great opportunity for the students to showcase all the hard work and effort they have put in their projects.
