The vibration pulses vary as signaled bythe duration that is detected by the two ultrasonic sensors on the front of the glove and the calculated distancein the program. With the use of a display or serial monitor in Arduino IDE itself, the calculated distances andcorresponding vibration lengths sent to the haptic motor can be observed. The current prototype is activatedwhen the hand is extended forward and deactivated by use of a tilt switch when the hands are down. At itscurrent state, this project has earned strong attraction from attendees in various recruiting events regardlessof age, sector

Over the last five years, the authors(instructors) have taught the ‘Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering’ classexclusively to the non-MSE students (primarily from mechanical, industrial and electricalengineering). From the student feedback obtained during this time, instructors realized the needfor a hands-on project for sustaining students’ interests and keeping them engaged while learningthe fundamental concepts of the field. It is thus necessary that the traditional materials sciencetetrahedron (Figure 1(a)) should be modified to cater to the interests of students from non

and mis-concepts of design do require proper alignment with prevailingconditions on the ground. Undoubtedly, the start of any design course should be preceded byexposure to design thinking and related processes. The paper reviews the role of design inengineering programs, and outlines the current research on how design thinking processes couldbe taught and learned. It explores also the currently most-favored pedagogical model for teachingdesign, namely: Project-Based Learning (PBL). The paper identifies several contexts for PBL,along with some available data on it success. Finally, the paper raises some of the questions thatshould be answered to identify the most effective pedagogical practices of improving designlearning.1

The proposed pedagogical approach is based on systematic learning through evidence-based teaching, knowledge mobilization, and research strategies. In our approach, it is recommended to use two platforms, µVision (simulator) and one microcontroller (hardware), such as Arduino or Raspberry Pi. Raspberry Pi is a small (900 MHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A7 CPU) single-board computer developed by Raspberry Pi Foundation and Arduino is the most popular
