enhanced educational experience.Beyond technical objectives, this project aimed to provide a rich educational experience. Forengineering students, it offered opportunities to apply theory to an integrated system combiningCAD modeling, prototyping, and environmental control. Biology students engaged in appliedplant science, pest control, and light optimization. The hands-on nature of the work fostered softskills such as collaboration, adaptability, and creative problem-solving. This project aligns withconstructivist and experiential learning theories, as students learned through doing, reflection,and peer feedback.Applicable StandardsThe project adheres to the NSPE Code of Ethics, emphasizing safety, health, and welfare of thepublic.
