Degree Projects

Explore the innovative degree projects developed by our students.

2025

Amanda Pinto & Camila Ramón

Rehabilitation prototype for people with visual disabilities that uses haptic technologies to provide sensory and auditory feedback, guiding the user by detecting obstacles.

Bryan Tipán

For micro farmers from Cuendina sector, allows the automation of the shelling process of dry corn cobs and at the same time performs the classification of four different sizes of dry corn grains.

Christian Ortega & Paola Pino

Assistive prototype for people with visual disabilities that detects obstacles and sidewalk edges in real time. It uses artificial vision and generates auditory alerts to inform about risks in the environment, ensuring autonomous and safe mobility.

Geovanny Imues

The system is able to make chocolate coatings and adapts to work with different products such as bananas, strawberries, tangerines, grapes, ice cream.

Jhander Lluglla & Willmer Guachamín

STEM educational robot based on the requirements of the National Directorate of Educational Technologies (DNTE) of Ministry of Education in the Digital Educational Agenda 2021-2025.

2024

Carla Ponluisa

Implementation of a robotic polishing system which will reduce health risks that polishers currently face.

Francis Montenegro

Construction of weather station that can measure the heat flow of the ground, it works with two types of AC and DC power through a panel.

Javier Jaramillo

Climate data recording system within a greenhouse that shows the user data in a simple way for decision-making.

Jonathan Chango & Rhonny Pachacama

Creation of an intelligent controller for greenhouse curtains. Implementing dedicated temperature sensors, the system automatically regulates the opening and closing of the curtains.

Luis Morocho

Measuring system for evapotranspiration, improving the methodology of the class A evaporimeter pond. This system seeks to optimize irrigation management, especially in remote areas where water management is mostly empirical.

Mario Cesén

3D printing kit focused on STEM education, able to monitor and save data obtained from variables. Accompanied by educational modules.

2023

Angie Balseca

Concepts test of a flexible electronic system using 3D printing. The system consisted of a printed substrate, a conductive tape and a polyamide tape cover.

Brandon Dávila

New applications for TPMS (Tripley Periodic Minimal Surfaces) structures specifically in thermal performance of compact heat exchangers with TPMS core.

Bryan Guillén & Bryan Valenzuela

Automated prototype that, through computer numerical control, performs total decoration of jellies since it has an automatic tool change which allows the use of three colors and three different gouges.

Cinthya Jiménez

The objective of this study is to design, manufacture and characterize polymeric structures with random porosity in 50 A elastic resin.

Cristian Puebla

Monitoring of casting process of a compact heat exchanger with triply periodic minimal surfaces, TPMS using the lost wax casting method.

Freddy Gordón

Guide for integration between a flexible component printed in 3D using stereolithography that has a lattice-type porous structure and a shape memory alloy such as Nitinol wire.

Jonathan Campos

Evaluation of the feasibility of designing a microfluidics chip that can be 3D printed using stereolithography.

Joselyn Chicaiza

Research and characterization of printed biomaterials using stereolithography with the aim of predicting their mechanical and biological properties.

2022

André Cuvi & Paúl Ramírez

The automatic vertical dry grain baler is a prototype that allows intermittent production of six bags per minute with capacity to dose 200 to 400 cm3 of dry grains in bulk.

Arleth Paladines & Milton Palacios

In-line embossing system that allows to join embossing process with lamination process. The system guides the smooth aluminum foil sheet through a system of rollers that tension and mark a pattern that gives relief to it to facilitate adhesion of mastic to the products.

Eduardo Cajas & Daniela Del Salto

Cybertherapy simulator focused on supervision of vital signs, encephalogram signals and biomechanical responses of lower limbs, in response to exposure of augmented reality scenarios of situations that produce obsessions in hospital users.

Erick Iñaguazo

Prototype to validate and certify the filtering capacity of masks and respirators according to ASTM – F2299, which will assist in the process of validating efficiency initiated by a mask supplier.

María José Vallejo

Characterization system for photopolymers printed using stereolithography in order to predict the mechanical properties of this material. The system allows obtaining mechanical resistance properties.

2021

Adrian Taipicaña & Jorge Aymara

It is about the design and construction of an automatic glassware cleaning and disinfection station, specifically glass cups and glasses, for the company Cotillón, Servicio de Catering.

Joshua Lascano & Miguel Navas

Prototype of fluid recirculation system in order to imitate the behavior of a perfusion bioreactor, focusing on artificial vision analysis of a laminar flow that passes through three-dimensional porous structures similar to those of human bone.

2020
