this course Design of the Built Environment (ES 0093-11) was conducted at Tufts University, a private research institution which offers eight ABETaccredited Bachelor of Science degree options in engineering. The freshman year, fall semestercurriculum for each of these degrees includes an introductory engineering elective (ES 0093).During the research study’s period of Fall Semester 2015, nine such course sections were offeredfrom faculty across the School of Engineering [biomedical (1 course offering), civil (2),electrical (2), environmental (1), mechanical engineering (1), and computer science (2)] withtopics ranging from music/art in engineering to basic robotics. In general these courses aim toprovide students with an interdisciplinary

, theQuanser hardware is controlled through proprietary add-on software with QUARC forMATLAB/Simulink or QRCP for LabVIEW (National Instruments), Googol’s products arecontrolled through MATLAB, and dSpace uses its own software to generate and then downloadcode specific to dSpace boards. At several thousand dollars per station for even the simplestmodules, and more for the software, these systems are an expensive way to build a lab.The second route that some universities take when developing their controls labs is a more do ityourself (DIY) approach [4]–[6]. This has several advantage over the fully COTS approach, e.g.,custom designs may better reflect real world problems, and the combination of custom hardwareand open source software can be

Design Course,” ASME International Design Engineering Technical Conference &Computers and Information in Engineering Conference 2009, pp. 1-11.Appendix A: Excerpt from the 2014 SyllabusCOURSE RULES:1. Pre-lab worksheets are available on Moodle for each experiment. These will be due by the end of class the week before you do the experiment. Here is the procedure that you should follow for completing the pre-lab: a) More than one week in advance, you should download the pre-lab for your assigned experiment, read the lab manual section, and review the relevant course material. Also complete the pre-lab as best you can, following good formatting practices for tables and graphs. b) Go to the professor’s office hours

, 3D printers are well maintained, frequentlycalibrated, and quickly repaired as needed. Before printing, each new design is critiqued and pre-processed with the help of a technician. Here, technicians instruct students about best practices in“printability” and position/orientation of parts to be printed. During printing, students arerequired to oversee the process for the first few layers to make sure the plastic adheres well to theprinting platform. Then, the technicians are required to observe parts for the rest of the time asthey are printed. This allows early detection of failed prints thus minimizing the amount ofwasted material and time. In some cases (proven designs) long jobs are allowed to run overnight.Removal of finished objects
