For ABET, it will be shown how these projects can be used to assess student outcomes.IntroductionIn engineering and engineering technology programs, there are a variety of programming andembedded systems courses. C/C++ programming is often used as a primary component to thesecourses. Examples of devices used within embedded hardware and software courses include theProgrammable System-on-Chip (PSoC 5LP) and the BeagleBone Black (BBB) [1-3].Alternatively, MicroPython is a subset of the Python standard library, and it is optimized to run on avariety of microcontrollers for embedded applications [4]. One such device is the Raspberry Pi Pico[5]. The Pi Pico is an inexpensive embedded processor board that can be used in a variety
]. Despite the importance of standards toengineering practice, standards often receive only cursory coverage in engineering curriculum. Asurvey of engineering industry representatives showed that 73% of those surveyed felt that recentengineering graduates lacked knowledge of engineering codes and standards [3].In recent years, there have been several efforts to increase engineering students’ competencywith standards. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has the StandardsServices Curricula Development Cooperative Agreement Program, which provides funds forinstitutions to develop innovative materials and methods to incorporate standards into theircurricula. Examples of past projects include Green Buildings and Sustainable

development ofengineering students’ sociotechnical thinking, particularly in the context of complex designproblem solving [1, 4, 5].Existing research points to several pedagogical strategies for fostering sociotechnical ways ofthinking in engineering students. For example, one approach to catalyzing students’sociotechnical thinking in engineering design education entails employing community-baseddesign projects that position students to think about social issues as they respond to designchallenges [4, 6]. Such approaches rely on the authenticity of the design challenge andpresuppose that the authenticity, as manifested in interactions with community members and theconstruction of personally relevant artifacts, will foster students’ sociotechnical

this reason, an amphibious water sampling rover was created by a capstoneproject team. This capstone project team was formed with five undergraduate engineeringtechnology students. This project was started in the Spring semester of 2022 and concluded inthe Fall semester of 2022. This project generated a rover, and the rover can navigate both on landand on water. And it can perform the water sample collection task. The rover can be controlledover a remote PC, and it can collect water temperature data, and the data can be sent remotelyover the internet. For wireless communication, a sub-GHz LoRa module is used. The rover canalso communicate over WiFi. A GUI (Graphical user interface) program was developed tocollect data from the rover and to

identificationof customer requirements [2]. Substantial interaction between mechanical engineering andentrepreneurship students in a senior level capstone course resulted in noteworthy improvementsin final project quality [3].When entrepreneurship is present, as it is in this study, a recent literature review identified a needfor more studies that measure its educational impacts [4]. This is not a new conclusion.Immersion in a process, such as the one conducted in this study, or even a simulation allowschildren to learn extensive amounts of information in short periods of time [5]. However, fewpedagogical impact investigations interrogate more than direct, overall academic achievement,even with one of the most studied constructs, achievement motivation [6
