Keurig: Coffee Pod Management for an Automated Brewing Experience
Joined MDP: 2024
Major: Computer Engineering
“During my MDP summer fellowship, I had the opportunity to continue working with Keurig to design and prototype a coffee pod management system to support a fully automated coffee brewing system to be integrated into a Keurig coffee machine. I mainly worked on the electronics and software design aspect of the project where I created circuits and utilized microcontrollers. Given our smaller team size, I also played a role in other aspects such as design generation and SolidWorks to help with 3D printing. Through this hands-on experience and mentorship program, I gained valuable insights into not only the technical aspects but also the importance of communication within our team, project management, and stakeholder collaboration in achieving our goals.” – Luke
