course1. Most approaches toinstruction in robot design focus on subsystem design followed by a common design project(typically involving a competition). While this method provides students with experience indesigning a robot to achieve certain objectives, there is often a distinct lack of rigor in the designprocess itself, with only success in the final competition as the metric by which the studentsevaluate their overall performance. Due to this ‘goal-minded’ behavior, students often resort toad hoc methods for design, losing sight of the principles of the discipline.To alleviate this problem, we provide students with an opportunity to develop their own designproject and then carry it out as part of a course on mobile robot design.

problem. Ingeneral, there is at least the potential that these fluids could contaminate the pumpedwater or otherwise enter the environment. Furthermore, they can be expensive, and arerarely available where ‘appropriate technology’ is needed.Two separate student-designed pumps are presented that seek to overcome theselimitations. They were developed as part of 2-semester ‘Capstone’ design project classes.In one, air separates a small charge of working fluid from well water, reducing thepotential for contamination. The other pump is designed to boil water at lowertemperatures than might otherwise be necessary, by use of an inverted water column, andis useful when water need only be lifted a few meters. An alternative to this design is alsosuggested

Secondary objectives of theproject are to reinforce the CAD process, introduce the computer numerically controlled (CNC)machining process, and to provide some of the tools and skill helpful to students during theirsenior capstone design projects. The primary CAD tools used in the completion of the project are solid modeling and thefinite element method (FEM). Critical to the successful application of the FEM, under allcircumstances, is the generation of an accurate solution. As defined

The solar tracking system is interfaced with a1kW wind turbine, a deep cycle battery storage system, a charge controller and an inverter. Solartracking is realized through “field” programmable complex digital circuit and alternatively with alow cost solar radiation sensing transducer consisting of green light emitting diodes (LED).Actuation of the panel tilt for azimuth tracking and rotation of the panel for solar tracking areoperated with a gear motor-based control system for adjusting the PV mount
