PROVO — There are many steps that take place before your plane is ready to take off.

Before even boarding the plane, it first needs to be taxied by airport staff to the gate — a method that involves running the jet engines.

"They put out a lot of pollutants," Brett Stone, a Utah Valley University mechanical engineering professor, told Deseret News. "And the real problem there, too, is that they're putting a lot of pollutants right next to the tarmac workers who are there breathing that in constantly."

Stone, his colleague Matt Jensen and 14 UVU students believe they are close to solving that problem. On Friday, at the Provo Airport, they tested their prototype electric and autonomous vehicle, which promises to reduce emissions while moving airplanes at airports.

The students involved in the two-semester senior capstone course are mechanical engineering and computer science students.

"At the beginning of last semester, we had a problem statement from Dr. Stone that said, 'We want a tug that's going to pull a plane, and it's got to be all-electric, and you have $10,000. Go,'" Ammon Traeden, a mechanical engineering major on the project, told the Deseret News.

"Any movement is better than no movement," she said.

Jaworski suggests that finding ways to weave exercise into your day will help manage stress. That could mean chair yoga, stretching, squats, or jumping jacks.

"The more you can be active, the better," she said.

If you're at home, there are plenty of household items you can use.

"Whether it's a water bottle or a gallon of milk or your vacuum, there are things that are various weights that you can use to lift and do both arm and leg exercises," she said. "It doesn't require any extra expense."

When it comes to nutrition, Jaworski said although it's all right to leave some room for enjoyment, what you put into your body does have an effect on your stress levels.

"The processed foods and the fatty foods, they do make us feel worse, and when we feel worse, we get more stress," she said...
