A Sustainable Mobility Solution for Persons Living with Disability in Burkina Faso
Get PDFThe Sustainable Mobility project of the Collaboratory empowers people living with a disability in rural West Africa to pursue educational and work opportunities and more fully participate in family and community life. Our electric, 3-wheeled, off-road wheelchair has transformed the lives of dozens of clients through partnerships with the Center for the Advancement of the Handicapped in Mahadaga, Burkina Faso and the Center of Hope in Fada, Burkina Faso. Now, to reach more people in new locations and with more partners, Sustainable Mobility is working to reduce manufacturing time and cost, author image-driven fabrication guides to enable local fabricators to build trikes, create instructional trike assembly videos, and develop supply chains to bring parts and materials to build sites. We seek to put local fabricators to work building tricycles wherever they are needed.https://mosaic.messiah.edu/engr2021/1021/thumbnail.jp

Better Pumps: Reliable Handpump Infrastructure
Get PDFApproximately 90 million people in Africa lack access to safe drinking water, despite having water infrastructure installed in their community. The India Mark II and the Afridev handpumps are among the most widely used handpumps in the world. Sadly, studies show that approximately 30% of these handpumps are non-operational due to failures of the bearings, seals, head flange, and other common components. The Better Pumps team of the Collaboratory provides engineering support for partners who are working to improve handpump sustainability. We partnered with Tony Beers and AlignedWorks to validate a bearing test methodology for the India Mark II handpump. By modifying the loading conditions in our handpump test machine, we were able to replicate failures observed by AlignedWorks in a field trial of their bearing design. We partnered with Matt Schwiebert and Living Water International to test new seal designs for the India Mark II and Afridev handpumps and to measure head flange deflections in the India Mark II handpump. Seal performance data collected by the team was used to validate a new design in advance of field trials by Living Water International. Head flange deflection data was collected for partner benchmarking of their computational analysis. Test methodologies and results are reported.https://mosaic.messiah.edu/engr2021/1000/thumbnail.jp

Adjustable Prone Trolley Design for People Suffering from Spinal Cord Injuries in Nepal
Get PDFFor people suffering from spinal cord injuries, it is important to stay active. However, with spinal cord injuries, the use of a wheelchair isn’t feasible. These patients require a prone trolley. A prone trolley is a horizontal pad with four wheels that a patient can maneuver and control while lying in a prone position. Our partner, International Nepal Fellowship (INF), deals directly with patients who suffer from spinal cord injuries on a daily basis. INF, a Christian, medical organization, manages a hospital in Pokhara, Nepal which specializes in treating patients with spinal cord injuries. The Nepal Prone Trolley Team’s goal is to provide our partner with a sustainable prone trolley design and create the required manufacturing documentation to enable them to produce the prone trolleys in country at their Green Pastures hospital. The team began our work by researching what a prone trolley is, how it functions and what is currently available. During the research, the team discovered that there weren’t many examples of a manually powered prone trolley or critical dimensions for ergonomics for manually powered trolleys. This drove the team to develop testing methods and preliminary designs specifically for INF. Various basic designs were considered, but, through communication with INF, a single design was chosen. Computer modeling of this design was used to decrease the overall weight of the trolley and simplify the frame. With most of the design finalized, the team is ready to begin prototyping next semester.https://mosaic.messiah.edu/engr2021/1012/thumbnail.jp

The Rhetoric of Malcolm X’s Legacy: by Any (Available) Means (of Persuasion) Necessary
No full textThis dissertation examines the cultural practices of the 2018 Malcolm X Festival, hosted by the Pan-African Connection: Bookstore, Art Gallery, and Resource Center on May 19, 2018. Analyzing literacy practices, rhetorical theory, and visual rhetoric, this dissertation project explores how this festival utilizes cultural practices to (re)construct Malcolm X’s rhetorical legacy. Chapter one introduces the general outlines of upcoming dissertation chapters. Chapter two discusses the literal representation of Malcolm X by reviewing what scholars have concluded about his actual life. Focusing on his interconnected roles as a rhetor, rhetorician, and cultural figure, chapter three chronicles the rhetorical representations of Malcolm X within academia. Chapter four explains my methodology of Positionality, Motive(s), and Community Accuracy (P.M.C.) to argue for the need of methodologies that respond to communities of study. Throughout my study, P.M.C. constantly encourages me to revisit my positionality, motive(s) for conducting this research, and my representations of this community. Chapter five assesses the 2018 Malcolm X Festival on a larger scale since I incorporate six interviews to illustrate how being literate in Malcolm X can produce reconnective racial literacies. Returning to traditional oratory, chapter six focuses on the epideictic rhetoric of Nuri Muhmmad, a student minister of the Nation of Islam, to convey epideictic performance is a collective performance at this particular festival. Finally, chapter seven evaluates five visual artifacts that advertise different Malcolm X festivals of the past. By evaluating each visual artifact, this chapter illustrates what each visual artifact claims about the ethos of Malcolm X and how it (re)constructs his ethos for different festival occasions. Ultimately, this dissertation emphasizes the importance of studying Malcolm X beyond his literal life and the benefits of understanding how local communities (re)construct rhetors in general
