Education, 2022 Powered by www.slayte.com CONTROLLING A ROBOTIC ARM WITH AN ELVIS IIAbstractThe Design Technology II course is intended to give the students a real-world approach to designprojects. The students are expected to design projects that are innovative, interesting, and uniqueby using the techniques, skills, knowledge, and experiences they have gained in the numerousdisciplines that are offered in the Electrical/Electronics Engineering Technology Program. Theobjective of this undergraduate project was to control the five movements of a robotic arm usingthe National Instrument ELVIS II Board. The ELVIS II was chosen to act as a microcontroller inthis project.The ELVIS II is a National

multidisciplinarycollaboration between engineering and business majors through experiential learning.Consequently, the Stitt Scholars Program (SSP) was instituted to allow students to engage inmultidisciplinary collaborations. The focus was to acquire and enhance their entrepreneurial andinnovation skills. Through the Stitt Scholars Program, startup companies provide projects formultidisciplinary teams of students to execute. Each student puts in ten hours of work each week.The startup companies have no financial obligation as the students are paid from the Stitt ScholarsProgram fund. The students also take a 2-credit hour course which incorporates lecture series andother weekly academic engagements. This course's goal is to help the students understand theengineering

As a project evolves fromConcept Exploration to Operations and Support, different skill sets are required. In the earlyphases of the product life cycle, research and systems thinking/engineering are dominant. As theproduct life cycle moves to the right toward full scale development, systems operation andengineering gives way to product design, development, and systems integration.

DimensioningGeometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) is a powerful tool for designing andmanufacturing products. If used correctly, GD&T can streamline and optimize the manufacturingof products, saving companies a tremendous amount of time and money. In trade schools, GD&Tis traditionally taught in the machine shop in parallel to learning equipment in the machine shop.At the university level, traditional engineering curriculum conventionally teaches GD&T indesign courses, many times without the use of the machine shop or understanding of the machineshop equipment capabilities. Students at universities tend to struggle with grasping GD&Tconcepts if ‘hands-on’ assignments or projects are not designed to reinforce concepts learned inthe
