Sophomore students in Electrical and computerengineering, students from other engineering disciplines like aerospace or mechanical andsome non-engineering disciplines can also benefit from this course.6 Conclusion & Future workThe paper describes MCU-based system design course that was offered to Electrical andComputer Engineering undergraduate students. This course is useful in several ways –firstly, students can get hands-on-experience in building systems that they have learnedabout in theoretical classes. Secondly, they can use it for integrating their chip-baseddesign projects. Thirdly, it could

a tipping bucket rain gauge4. Experimental DesignThe experimental method is aimed at answering the following two research questions: 1. Will exposure to the footprint concept significantly improve the ability to identify the tipping correctly? 2. Does the footprint method help to address tipping-related issues?The first question addresses the ease of identifying the footprint correctly. The second questiondetermines whether it improves the performance of the problem solver.The undergraduate aerospace, civil, and mechanical engineering students (N = 31) participated inthe study. Initially, the participants were randomly divided into two groups and assigned twotasks. The entire session uses a pre-test and post-test design with a

For many types of engineers (Mechanical, Civil, Aerospace,ect.), computer aided engineering (CAE) software is an extremely powerful tool towards ideation,development, and implementation of complex design solutions. Computer-aided design (CAD)tools like Solidworks and Autodesk Fusion 360 provide real-time visual feedback of a design andallow the user to iterate based on part and assembly-level interdependencies. Computationaltools based on the finite element method (FEA) help the designer to analyze the limitations oftheir design, predict failure modes, and optimize design parameters to achieve a certainperformance.

enrollment of femalestudents, with 40% of the class population. The popularity of the course is evident from thesubstantial waitlist of students trying to enroll, which suggests a growing interest in flowvisualization and its artistic applications. This suggests a promising new approach to increase theparticipation of women in Mechanical Engineering (ME) or Aerospace Engineering byaddressing the traditional perception of the discipline. Mechanical Engineering is often viewedas a dry and overly utilitarian field, focused on solid mechanics such as gears and levers, whichmay deter women from pursuing it. As a result, the enrollment of women in engineering hasremained low nationwide, at less than 14% of the undergraduate student population over the
