result of the experiments is that a statistically significant AC signal, produced only whenexposed to sound, thereby proves that sound is causing the electrical signal. It is extremely likelythat, when scaled up and in the right conditions, our device could supply usable electricity byrecovering energy from the sound.IntroductionThis paper investigate a small-scale project that illustrates the potential of using sound energy asa means of creating electrical energy to be stored and reused. The objective of this project was tocreate a a prototype device that could convert sound and vibrational energy to a voltage that couldbe captured on a small scale. Although the main goal of the device was to provide a proof ofconcept, the ideas outlined in

Projects were designedto reinforce learning outcomes achieved at check points throughout the semester. Summativeassessment included project deliverables, homework based on theoretical problem solving, aswell as a midterm and final that included a take-home portion, a partnered practical lab-basedexercise, and a problem solving section. The primary challenges faced included how to facilitate better connections students madeacross the content and how to assist students in the cognitive shifts necessary in a fast-paced andpedagogically very

Now, the declaration of major is done at the end of thefirst semester, although students are informed that they can still change their selection with nopenalty until the start of their second year. The fall semester of engineering courses introducestudents to the engineering majors offered at Binghamton University. There are guest lecturersfrom the engineering departments and industry.

During thesemester cycle the students work onthree sequential design projects. Theused approach introduces the designprocedures and concepts using a singlemulti-level design problem as asemester-long project. An Excelspreadsheet for the design analysiswas created by each student and wasupdated repetitively during the courseto achieve new design specifications Fig. 1 Design project worksheetand criteria, Figure 1. In addition, thestudents built a numerical model for the same project using Finite

Student assessment in the course had the following components: homework/quizzes,development of a project and its presentation, service-learning activity, mid-term, and finalexamination. The Project assessment criteria are given in Table 1. Students constructed an “obstacle avoiding robot” on Arduino platform using ultrasonicsensor, DC motors, motor driver board and a chassis. The robot was powered by batteriesmounted on a small chassis with wheels driven by motors and other commercially availableelectronic parts. The Arduino accepted
distance education is nothing new, the pandemic of COVID-19 forcedinstructors to rapidly move their courses online whether or not they had ever received priortraining in online education. In particular, there is very little literature to guide instructors insupporting students in online engineering design or project-based courses. The purpose ofthis research is to examine engineering students’ report of social support in their project anddesign-based courses at a large research university during the move to online instruction due toCOVID-19 in the Spring 2020 semester and to provide recommendations for instructors teachingthese types of courses online in the future.
