atMiddle Tennessee State University. Traditionally, this course covered number systems, switches,combinational and sequential logic circuits design, and FPGA programming. In recent years,there is a need to introduce microcontrollers to the students in this course. The reason is that ourprogram does not offer a microcontroller course, but microcontrollers are used very often insenior design and could also be used in the course projects of some upper division courses. Theefforts of adding Arduino to the curriculum of Digital Circuits Fundamentals started about threeyears ago. In particular, we have used a low-cost Arduino kit and redesigned two labassignments to teach students how to use Arduino and how to interface Arduino with digitaldisplays and

In Progress: Lab on Cart: Developing a Low-Cost Fluid Visualization Setup for Experiential Learning, Class Demonstration and OutreachAbstractDespite being present in many natural phenomena and engineering systems, fluid dynamics isoften perceived as difficult and mysterious by students. The transparency of common fluids (airand water) and the complex, non-linearity of the governing equations make understanding thesedynamics challenging.Flow visualization has been shown to be an effective method for teaching complex fluid dynamicsto a general audience. The streamlines over a car prototype in a wind tunnel, or the vortexformation of a hurricane, to name a couple, have become household images confirming the efficacyof this technique

Using soft robotics specifically can offer a unique approach to learning as it encourages students toproblem solve using a creative, adaptable, and entrepreneurial mindset. The project is also designed tointegrate healthy competition among students which further encourages student involvement. Moreover,exposing students to soft robotics can provide a new perspective of problem-solving for the next generationof engineers.The entirety of this module was developed as part of a design project completed by junior and seniormechanical engineering students which gives strengths to the feasibility of

a force balance is desirable.To maximize the utility of wind tunnel-based lessons and laboratory demonstrations, there is alsoa need for a setup that is easily adaptable to different tests and loading applications. This paperprovides such a force balance design, along with detailed evaluation and benchmarking tocharacterize the accuracy of the force balance. Our force balance uses readily available materialshaving a total cost under $125. Static load tests show that the force balance is accurate with amean absolute percentage error of only 2.5%. We demonstrate the system’s usefulness andadaptability with classic examples of measuring drag on a sphere and characterizing aNACA 0012 wing, as well as with measuring lift on a foldable wing

As the course was being taughtfor the first time, it was quickly apparent that students majoring in Biological Engineering andEnvironmental science lacked adequate background and preparation in EES and data science. Thecourse was then adjusted to immerge these students into EES and data science using experientiallearning by developing laboratory exercises and a semester long project on wetland design. Theproject included designed laboratory exercises and hands-on work to teach ecological engineeringskills as well as leadership, teamwork, and communication. Other class modules included
