For (3) the work was meant to be performed individually while for(1) and (2) groups of up to 4 students was allowed.This project assignment was done keeping in mind the significance of manufacturing simulationin the production operations of major corporations for modeling, analyzing, and optimizing theircomplex manufacturing operations. It was also conjectured that finite element modeling andsimulation is probably the most basic and powerful tool that almost any engineer is required topossess to day. An exercise using this tool will help pave way for refinement and expertise in 8modeling and simulation and would be of vital help in other

thatmaximizes battery life and may need to use machine learning in order to make sense of themassive amounts of data that deployments can generate. Computer engineers interested increating IoT devices must have an advanced understanding of firmware programming and radiocommunication to create smart devices that communicate with low power usage. Others (e.g.,biologists, civil engineers, mechanical engineers) who want to use IoT for special projects theymay have in mind need to understand the challenges and limitations of the technology and thewireless communication space in order to design systems accordingly. Currently, few courses onIoT are offered nationwide. There is a strong need for more. This paper describes a project-based, pilot IoT course

momentsacting on a body isolated from the rest of system is a key step in solving virtually any solidmechanics problem. It is for this reason that one of the first major courses for any mechanical orcivil engineering student is Statics (or its equivalent), which is almost entirely based around theconcept of the FBD. The FBD can be a rather challenging concept to teach, especially tofreshmen and sophomore undergraduate students who may not have yet developed a physics andengineering perspective in their approach to solving problems. With this in mind, theexploded-view approach, which is a simple and intuitive way to teach the concept of the FBD forvirtually any mechanical system, is explored in this paper.MotivationThe exploded-view approach to free

professor wants to test his research hypothesis by quantifying the bandwidth of human arm movement and comparing it between “healthy” subjects and stroke patients. His idea is to measure the acceleration of the wrist while the subject is flexing and extending the elbow joint on a table with an object of various size and weight in the hand (e.g. tennis ball, water bottle, etc.). With potential large-scale deployment/experiments in mind, he desires a relatively inexpensive setup that can be easily operated by a lay person who is not necessarily technically oriented; the system should be operable, for example, by a nurse with, say, one hour of tutorial at most.
