all engineering projects consisting of conceptual designs,computer models, simulations, and physical implementations essential elements of learning. Forundergraduate engineering education, capstone projects are exceptionally important. Howe andGoldberg [3] analyze current practices, trends, and strategies. Furthermore, since this workaddresses a multiyear design project, the pedagogical value of project-based learning (PBL) as apart of experiential learning, is also well documented [4]-[6]. In addition, since students work inteams, some of the peer learning (PL) practices are implemented. PL is extensively addressed ineducation and psychology literature [7]-[11].Teams undertaking multiyear projects can be either replacing some members each

inthe Introduction to Feedback Control course for several different projects, including linefollowing robot, ball levitator, ball balancer, and inverted pendulum self-balancing robot.Without learning Arduino in Digital Circuits Fundamentals, they would not be able to completethese course projects in just a few weeks. They have also used Arduino in their capstone seniordesign projects to build line following tennis ball shooter, remote controlled mobile trebuchet,robotic cat, robotic dog, Rubik’s cube solving machine, hovercraft, submarine, etc. Prior tolearning Arduino in Digital Circuits Fundamentals, students had to learn Arduino themselveswhile doing capstone senior design. As a result, they often could not build the working prototypeuntil

generallydo not gain experience in open-ended design or entrepreneurial innovation – skills which may behighly valued by future employers or graduate schools, and even in upper-level project-basedcourses such as capstone design.Biofabrication Lab is an upper-level elective laboratory course offering students hands-onexperience in advanced cell culture, computer aided design, additive manufacturing, andprototyping related to translational bioengineering. Quantitative Physiology Lab is a requiredlaboratory course in which third-year bioengineering students conduct experiments to measureand model human physiological systems, while gaining experience in data analysis andpresentation. To expand the breadth of knowledge and experience gained by students, a

/IoT security can be introduced at different academic levels, starting with basic systemmodeling and networking courses and progressing to advanced threat analysis and securesystem design courses. Capstone projects can be expanded into course projects that applystudents’ theoretical knowledge and practical skills to real-world problems, such as protect-ing a smart grid or countering cyberattacks on industrial control systems. Multidisciplinarycollaboration provides a holistic understanding of CPS/IoT security, the modules encouragecollaboration across engineering, computational science, and information technology disci-plines. Incorporating these modules into current curricula can enhance student engagementand learning outcomes while ensuring

student societies’ activities.This study was conducted as a senior capstone project by a team of four industrial engineeringand one mechanical engineering senior students. The capstone senior project spanned twoquarters, for a total of 22 weeks, and was sponsored by the OSU Department of EH&S, advisedby an industrial engineering faculty, and assisted by a PhD student in industrial engineering. Thecapstone senior project focused on identifying the root cause of the lack of near-miss reportingamong student societies within the COE through the development of research instruments andpreliminary data collection and analysis.Qualitative Approach of Current StudyExisting studies on academic laboratory safety either focus on formal learning settings

are continually reduced by the advancement of more sophisticated consumer technology.The inspiration for this work stems from our institution’s success with flipping the mechanicalengineering electronics course sequence to “at-home” labs in 2015 using miniature USBoscilloscopes, function generators, and Arduino microcontrollers. While we were not the first tosee the benefits of this approach (see, for example, [2]), we quickly appreciated students'enhanced interest and sense of mastery of the material, as evidenced by the increased use ofelectronics and sensors in their senior capstone design projects. Two recent studiesdemonstrating the effectiveness of “at-home” kits are given by [3] and [4], the latter of whichstudied a cohort of 290
