The study developed a control system that used various loopsto control fuel cell current, charge current of battery, SOC of battery, input current, and busvoltage. The feasibility of the study’s control system and voltage bus performance was proven bycreating a simulation model in PSIM software. The capstone group intends to model the batterymanagement system and the active control system through Simulink. This study gave oneapproach to how a power switching system for a FCHEV could be controlled [7]. A conceptfrom this approach that could be used for the FCHEV capstone project is to break

of the survey questions directly asked the students about the course content. As expected,for the 1st and 4th year courses (Intro to Engineering and Capstone respectively), the vastmajority of students stated the design process was taught and they applied the design process inthat course. More surprisingly, a majority of students from Statics and Linear Systems alsostated that the design process was formally taught in the course despite both courses focusingsolely on modeling and analysis. Additionally, the Statics and Linear Systems students alsostarted that they had applied the design process on at least one assignment or project. In Statics,no formal design problem or assignment was given, and in Linear Systems a group designproject was

Many engineering programs now require first year design experiences, aswell as senior capstone projects. Between those early and late design courses, there can be a“desert of design” -- many dense analytical courses with few structured opportunities for team-based design work. Institutions that manage to build in design across the curriculum have beenhighlighted as groundbreaking (e.g. [2]). To avoid the problem of encapsulation, or only seeingwhat they learn as relevant within a specific course [3], it is important to provide students avariety of contexts where they can apply their design skills.
