American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Game Design in Computer Engineering Capstone ProjectsAbstractThe purpose of a capstone design project course is to provide graduating senior students theopportunity to demonstrate understanding of the concepts they have learned during their studies.As with many computer science and engineering programs, students of the computer engineeringprogram at Utah Valley University (UVU) conclude their degree programs with a semestercapstone design experience. The intent is for students to utilize competencies developed in thefirst three years of the curriculum in the solution of an embedded design problem.Recently many of our computer engineering

. Robotic design is currentlynot yet well represented in undergraduate academic programs.In order to prepare our computer engineering students for the robot design experience which canbe considered as a complex embedded systems design, we offer two courses on embeddedsystems. However, these two courses on embedded systems design are not enough to teach thestudents the skills that they need. In order to satisfy the ABET requirements students incomputer engineering program are required to take a capstone course. The projects that studentsdo in this capstone course are embedded projects. This paper describes a robotic project that astudent has done in this capstone course.IntroductionWikipedia defines a robot as [1] “ a machine—especially one

. Capstone design is a culminating course offered toundergraduate students in which they collaborate to design, build, and test engineering solutionsfor real-world problems. The students enrolled in these courses must first solve the problems offorming teams and identifying a course project. This is especially challenging for one-semestercourses because students must form groups in less than a week. The challenge is furtherexacerbated for interdisciplinary capstone design courses. Students must form teams withindividuals studying different majors; in most cases, teammates have never previously met. Atthe end of the semester, teams display and pitch their inventions and marketability to a panel ofjudges, guests, media, and peers while competing for

courses complementing the primary major, and atwo-semester capstone project course; 10 courses worth 30 credit hours in total.Figure 1: Program outline. Shaded courses form a required core. Arrows to electives are notdrawn, different core courses are prerequisites for different electives.2.2 Core coursesThe goal of the core courses is to develop fundamental knowledge and skills. All core courseshave non-credit weekly labs associated with them.2.2.1 Introduction to Computer Science IIntroduction to Computer Science I (Intro I) course is designed for students with no priorbackground in computing. It has two central aims. The first aim is to enable the students todevelop computational solutions to practical problems: • Break a

into the basic workings of a blockchain. We did not, however, completeany deep analysis on how the mining and hashing works in the blockchain. This is one topic wewould like to further research.6.2 Conclusions and Next StepsIn conclusion, we have achieved the major objectives laid out in Section 2. However, we alsoidentified numerous topics that could be a fertile ground for many exciting and rewarding researchand capstone projects as listed below.It is exciting to share our journey of creating a private blockchain network. We believe that thevirtual machines and hands-on lab exercises being passed down will be valuable to the academiccommunity interested in learning and/or teaching the inner workings of blockchain. We hope thatwith the
