- Replace one cylinder with the one of different rating and repeat Steps a to c.In the second part, students will build the circuit on the pneumatic trainer to verify Step c. Also,they should answer the following questions: 1- Do you observe any difference between the hand calculation, the simulation, and the actual circuit built? Where do you observe the differences, if any, and why? 2- Explain what you observed in Part D. Propose a solution to modify the circuit so both cylinders extend/retract synchronously. 3- How would you modify the circuit for overrunning loads (e.g., loads that are more than the allowed maximum loads)Plans for assessmentUpon completion of both phases, the authors will develop a

The working trainer in the lab.ComponentsThe trainers have several features such as 2 analog outputs (0 - 10V), Over temperature display,1 Ethernet port 10/100 Base-T, to name a few. Appendix A includes a list of all the features. Asmentioned before, the software installed on the trainers are B&R, which is an open-sourcesoftware. Figure 4 shows step-by-step instruction to assemle the trainer. All the electroniccomponents were provided by B&R [1]. The authors are planning to complete all the 22 trainersin near future.Lab Activity OutlineThe trainers

acceptable threshold. We planned to use the gas board to initially detect CarbonMonoxide levels (CO). The gas detection board parts did not arrive on time so we were onlyable to take temperature and relative humidity readings [11].A ROS Environmental node had to be developed and run on the PC mounted on the Robot Baseto read the sensor values from Environmental Ardunio Uno through the serial port. The sensordata was combined by the node with position data and time from the Odometry (odom) topic andwritten to an Environmental data file. The Environmental data file was analyzed off line withtools such as Microsoft Office Excel.Part ProcurementFor previous Senior Capstone projects, the students in each group were responsible fordetermining parts and

provided a background about machine design course that offered by the Universityfor Engineering Technology students. The authors presented the rational to integrate a vendingmachine system into machine design course. The author are proposing the project to the studentsduring spring semester and post evaluation will be given to the students for the evaluations. Thesteps that are needed of development are discussed and the components of the vending machinewere mentioned. The authors believe that this project enhance students learning and improve themachine design course learning. Yet, examining the impact of these trainers on students learningis the subject of a future study. For future, the authors are planning to conduct a survey to learnabout

with skills acquired from experimental work, such asprogramming and data analysis. By the end of the course, the students were successful in deliveringthe planned objectives of this advanced level experiment. In addition, the controllers wereimplemented using Matlab and Simulink, which helped the students hone their programmingskills.The experiment can be fine-tuned to address the needs of other courses in the classic mechanicaland industrial curricula. Working with this experiment affords the students to work with a widerange of aspects and issues, which allow the instructors to select and tailor and customize theexperiment according the desired level of the difficulty and allotted time. Here, we propose a fewcourses in which this

The system aims toimprove the undergraduate education at WVU Tech. It will also enable faculty to submitproposals to the Transforming Undergraduate Education in Science, Technology, Engineeringand Mathematics (TUES) program and Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE:EHR) program of the NSF. Moreover, the PIs of this project will request funding from NASA-WV Space Grant Consortium to develop a new inter-disciplinary course based on the electro-mechanical system.
