and developed ananimatronic polar bear robot shown in Figure 11. The robot successfully competed at the 2003Society of Manufacturing Engineers/Robotics International (SME/RI) event at RochesterInstitute of Technology, earning the 3rd place in the Robot Construction Category. This capstone Figure 1. Animatronic Polar Bear for the 2003 SME/RI Competitioncourse project led to the development of a cross-disciplinary honors course, enrolling art,engineering, technology, and pharmacy students2. Puppetry and mechanism design projects were Page 22.558.2the focus of this 4 hours a week course. Also following the capstone project, the author

the needs for redesign, the project was not ultimately taken to localmanufacturers to establish an arrangement for eventual production and distribution. It wasdetermined, however, that the product (or a redesign) could serve as a more traditionalemergency item that is produced and sold for storage in the home ahead of an actual emergency.In fact, the ability to neatly fold up and store the device was designed into the product for thefinal version.The second project was an extension of the first and focused on a redesign of the bike generatorusing DFA principles for simpler and quicker assembly by local manufacturer. This project wasundertaken by a single student as a capstone senior project experience. The student examinedthe product
