Minimum Qualifications (KSAs)
MSD WASTEWATER ENGINEERING
Mission:
Learn the value of data collection and its applicability to industrial uses, as well as the limitations and challenges of budget and time constraints. Tackle through a hands-on experience, the philosophical question of how to balance the cost to obtain information and its quality vs. the value it provides.
Purpose: Develop software application tools to improve response time and reduce costs for data collection related to infrastructure condition assessment. Apply applications to sensors and micro-computers which can be used in the field take measurements in the environments of MSD assets. If time permits, work on ArcMap GIS applications and develop Python routines to automate desired, repetitive tasks performed by MSD users.
Overview: Work as part of a team in a professional engineering environment. Develop communication skills both with engineers as well as maintenance staff. Learn about condition assessment and the factors that affect and age infrastructure. Learn about civil engineering and sewer design. Assume responsibility for ethical action and work production.
Expectations: Via small, inexpensive LiDAR units, collect and record data to a Raspberry Pi micro-computer to create 3D point clouds of interior spaces of pipes and structures. Include and apply additional peripheral devices such as position trackers, range finders, possible other devices. Develop an application to visually represent 3D point clouds which is intuitive, easy to review, and allows the user to determine dimensions of a structure at a chosen point in the structure as determined by user input. Determine typical levels of error in collected data. Remain flexible and adaptable due to a myriad of dynamic influences including the following: budget, time constraints, reviews and requests from engineers or maintenance staff, equipment limitations, other organizational needs, etc. As time allows, develop mounts with a 3D printer, so the various components of sensors can be attached together, forming a single, overall unit. Be resourceful in eliminating bugs in code and communication between devices and operating systems. All intellectual property that results from development, including authorship of code, will be considered public domain, to be copied, published, and utilized for use as deemed fit by the public.
Deliverables
Co-op to deliver:
-Python code to run sensors and collect data through a micro-computer on a Linux OS.
-Python code to generate intuitive images of 3D point clouds, both in a Linux and Microsoft OS.
-Python code for users to determine structure dimensions, anywhere within its 3D point cloud.
-Documentation of how code works and how to set up micro-computers, sensors, and output.
MSD to provide:
-Budget: desktop or laptop computer; micro-computers (Raspberry Pi), LiDAR units, movement tracking sensors, salary of student (roughly 15 weeks).
-Logistics: workstation in the WEEC Building.
-Training: training on city policies, rules, regulations.
