  1. Team 07 1.2.1 Project Title: (Required) The title of the poster, and of the project, should be descriptive but reasonable in length. Fifty characters should be an upper limit Abstract: Our team has designed and constructed an Automated Trace Gas Trapping System (ATGTS) that will be used to monitor trace gas amounts of nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from soil to the atmosphere. Using a series of molecular sieve and desiccant traps in conjunction with a micro-diaphragm pump and solenoid valves, the system will measure N2O and CO2 released from soil every four hours. This process will repeat for a one month time period until the traps are replaced and sent to a laboratory to quantify the gas measurements. 1.2.2 Team Number: (Required) The team number shall be associated with the team member names to aid in the poster evaluation. Acknowledgments: Designed by: Dan Cashen Chris Gliniecki Thomas Hancasky Alex Esbrook Adam Grisdale Josh Kowalski Alex Kerstein Sponsored by: Dr. P. Robertson Dr. N. Ostrom Dr. K. Smemo Academic Advisors: Dr. J. Deller Dr. R. Mukherjee Funded by: BERI (Biogeochemistry Environmental Research Initiative) 1.2.3 Names: (Required) The names of the project sponsor(s), team members, and faculty facilitator shall all be provided. If the sponsor is off-campus, a general location shall be provided 1.2.4 Abstract: (Suggested) The abstract for the project shall be included. It should be similar to that in the proposal and final report, except for possible shortening 1.2.5 Acknowledgments: (Optional) If the sponsor(s) and/or other organization(s) have contributed significant assistance in the form of technical advice, equipment, or financial aid, etc., a brief acknowledgement of this contribution shall be included. Sponsor logo is required for projects sponsored outside the university. 1.2.6 Introduction: (Suggested) The introduction shall contain the following components, each of which is a condensed version from the project proposal: Problem/Need – This subsection shall summarize the problem area/product need in a non-technical manner. Intended user(s) and use(s) – This subsection shall summarize the intended user and intended uses. Assumptions and limitations – This subsection shall summarize the major assumptions and limitations of the project. Intro: Many scientists regard climate change as the most critical contemporary threat to the earth’s ecosystem. In response, international Framework Convention on Climate Change has created etiquettes of diplomacy such as the Kyoto Protocol, for example. One major component of these protocols is to develop emissions trading schemes such as carbon crediting. Carbon crediting is one of several methods by which to reward a lowering of greenhouse gas emissions and penalize those who do not. An integral part of this drive is to both reduce greenhouse gas emissions and research new methods to quantify these emissions. The intended users of this device will be farmers and the Biogeochemistry Environmental Research Initiative (BERI). it is of great interest to develop a method by which to measure trace gas amounts of nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from soil to the atmosphere. The device is only intended to operate over non-plant life soil.

Design constraints – This subsection shall summarize the major constraints that were considered during the design and implementation. 1.2.8 End-Product Description: (Suggested) This shall be a one-paragraph description of the commercialized end product. It shall be in the form of a technical product announcement as opposed to a product advertisement. 1.2.9 Technical Approach: (Suggested) This section shall summarize the technical approaches used for the design. This section often includes block diagrams, flow charts, schematics, etc. 1.2.10 Testing Approach: (if applicable) This section shall summarize the testing approach used. 1.2.11 Budget: (in some form) This section shall indicate the actual budget of the project.  As appropriate, it may show either the costs of building your prototype or the projected cost per unit of building the final product. 1.2.12 Final Product/Project Results: (Required) This section shall describe the final design or product achieved. It should document the product/design performance in comparison to the design specification. This section may also discuss areas or ideas for future improvement. Photographs of the final product may be appropriate in this section. 1.2.12 References: (If required by content) This section shall provide citations of sources of any protected material used on the poster.
