temperature,light, and vibration.Educational excellence requires exposing students to the current edge of research. To ensure thatstudent projects are along the same trajectory that the industry is moving, educators mustcontinually introduce emerging techniques, practices, and applications into the curriculum. Thefield of wireless sensor networks is growing rapidly, and there is increasing interest in providingundergraduate students with a foundation in the area. It is crucial that the emerging field ofwireless sensor networks be integrated into the undergraduate computer science and engineeringcurricula. This paper presents the details of two WSN projects that our undergraduate computerengineering students have done in their senior capstone

challenge faced by departments pertains to satisfying the Engineering TechnologyAccreditation Commission (ETAC) criteria for capstone senior project experience within theelectronics and computer engineering technology curriculum.A group of four engineering technology students came up with the proposal to develop, designand test the Parasitic Digital Thermoelectric Generator (P-DTG) Power System, which employsautonomous device control by an Arduino based microcontroller.Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) are renewable energy devices made up of semiconductorcomponents that directly convert the temperature difference between surfaces into electricalenergy. The efficiency of a TEG depends on the thermoelectric materials. The main advantage ofTEG is that

Computing Integrated into Program(1) Program OverviewThe program of the Robotics Class consists of five educational modules as follows:General Education, Professional Education, Practical Education, Capstone and otherelective courses. Computing-related courses are integrated into each educationalmodule. Students are encouraged to engage in the computing-aided engineeringdesign projects since first year, allowing them to understand what engineering is andhow does computational thinking work in the problem-solving

) Figure 9 - Network Architecture and ConfigurationConclusion and Future WorkThe project was successfully built and tested. The project’s total cost was 1,190.00 US dollarsdistributed over three main areas: 400 for the Pi tower, 340 for the Rock64 tower, and 450 for theFirewall, switches, and Ethernet cables. Three students worked on the implementation,configuration, and documentation for a total of 100 hours during an academic semester. Thestudents reported that they learned by doing hands-on labs and testing, and enjoyed this project.This project is suitable as a capstone or senior group project. Testing results proved that thisproject is suitable for securing the network of a startup company or a small business. This projectcould also be

This paper provides suggestions regarding the use of graphical design inspiredmethods for communicating these and similar ideas.As suggested in [4] a central theme can be used to "glue together" disparate topics as part of alarger puzzle in an advanced networking course. In a similar vein, as part of the Solution-BasedLearning (SBL) framework proposed by [5], students are encouraged to develop expandingfunctionality diagrams for their advanced capstone projects. Students provide a "back-of-the-napkin" sketch as part of the initial project proposal, depicting the proposed specifications whichconstitute the core and extension phases of their project. The development of theserepresentations require opportunity for practice across multiple
