One of our more hilarious microcontrollers projects! It's so cool when the students' personalities come through in their engineering. @CornellECE @CornellEng

Engineering can be used to change the world, AND it can be used to change your perspective of the world.

This is a rare project that falls into both categories! Technically challenging and an awesome opportunity for the @CornellEng students and me to learn more about our planet.

In fall of 2024, a team of students and faculty met to launch a project: creating a device that could measure methane from water bodies, a valuable tool in the fight against climate change.

The kind of methane sensor device they needed didn’t yet exist. Their task – to help communities and researchers measure methane emissions accurately and protect their water bodies – required something low-cost, rugged and portable. It would need to be deployed anywhere in the world, robust to wind and rain, run off a light battery, and contain a chamber that can fill with gases and then efficiently clear those gases to enable new measurements.

“The real-world application of this was really motivating for me,” said Grace Lo ’24, M.Eng. ’25, who is now a computer engineer for IBM. “Knowing that people are going to actually put this out in a lake or out in a real mangrove forest inspired me to make this the best device I could produce within the time limit and the supplies I had. That challenges you in a way you don’t get just by doing projects isolated in a lab.”

Sixteen months later, in partnership with the Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability (@AtkinsonCenter) and Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), these sensors were deployed in Colombia for the first time, informing global greenhouse gas assessments and reforestation of mangroves – ecosystems that can store up to four times more carbon per hectare than tropical rainforests.

In the future, the student-built methane sensor device could be used to study emissions from lakes, wetlands, dairy farm manure lagoons, abandoned gas wells and many other sources.

The student methane sensor development was supported by the Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability. The Colombian mangrove research was supported through the collaborative research partnership between EDF and the Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability supported by the David and Patricia Atkinson Foundation.

Some of the most creative projects from @CornellECE and @CornellEng students that I've ever seen!

[Raspberry Pi @Raspberry_Pi]

Electrical and Computer Engineering students @Cornell have furnished us with yet another batch of Raspberry Pi Pico-powered builds.

Cornell’s entire Digital Systems Design Using Microcontrollers course was written around RP2040, the chip embedded in our Pico boards.

Dive in to the latest cohort's creations...

Every so often, our friend Hunter Adams, Lecturer of Electrical Engineering at @Cornell University, gets in touch to show us all the innovative creations his latest cohort has made using RP2040. This past semester delivered no fewer than 40 Raspberry Pi Pico–based projects, and we’ve hand-selected a few of our favourites.
