(0.031 in.) stainless steel sheet metal.The taco holder, measuring 10 in. by 4 in., features three 60-degree bends, each spaced 2.5inches apart. The primary objective was to develop a repeatable laboratory procedure thatintroduces students to the principles of sheet metal bending, including force measurement,springback compensation, and the influence of tool geometry on final part accuracy.

BYOE: A Multidisciplinary DIY Speaker Design ProjectIntroductionProject-Based Learning (PBL) is a key instructional method that engages students by havingthem tackle real-world problems through collaborative projects [1]. In engineering education,PBL not only integrates theoretical knowledge with practical application but also fosters criticalskills such as collaboration, communication, and innovation. Research indicates that PBL is aneffective pedagogical approach in engineering education [2] and is an ideal pedagogy to employat the first-year, general engineering level, to develop these essential skills early on.In the first year at the University of Melbourne (Australia), students interested in engineeringtake foundational science courses

In an ever-growing wireless world,improvements and new antenna designs are pushing the ceiling with what can be achieved evenusing simple materials to construct an antenna. This project aims to develop a high-gain helical antenna array targeting 20 dBi at 2.4GHz. The goal is to achieve a narrow, focused beam and maximize gain along the boresightaxis, enabling reliable long-range and precise communication. To achieve this, the project willrequire careful consideration of material conductivity, permittivity, cost, and physicallimitations like size and wire spacing. A
