to control devices, take datafrom sensors, and analyze that data. Each module, inspired by one of the engineering majorsavailable on campus, culminates with a small design project. Each project lends itself tohighlighting different aspects of the design process, as well as different ways of sharingprototypes.Most modules take four laboratory periods, and the basic structure of each module is similar.During the first three lab periods students work in teams of four to build a physical device orobject. The procedures for these first three periods are fairly prescriptive and introduce studentsto new tools, components, techniques, and concepts. As the module progresses, students startconsidering elements of a design challenge that applies their
