integrate aspects of the project fundamentals andimplementation framework. The higher-order synthesizing skills of the students were alsobrought to bear with the open-ended creative project with the robotic systems and helped reinforcethe ABET learning outcomes related to teamwork, analyzing and interpreting data, and self-directed acquisition of new knowledge[11].6.0 Future WorkThe student efforts outlined in this paper offer considerable potential for advancement within thecontext of the experiential learning and research framework. The “concrete experiences” describedhave facilitated “reflective observation” and “abstract conceptualization,” which are now pavingthe way for further “active experimentation,” in alignment with Kolb’s experiential

elements is their inherent circular polarization.The 20dBi boresight gain target is quite high, unnecessarily high for most terrestrial point-to-point communications. Gain of these levels is, however, common for satellite communications asare those that utilize circular polarization due to their hand-switching reflections that mitigate theeffects of reflective and imperfect signal paths. Ultimately, the frequency of 2.4GHz was chosenfor its commonality and ease of comparison with other designs from teams with lower access tosophisticated measurement equipment. The helical antenna was chosen for its easy scaling fordifferent operating frequencies, meaning that this design could be translated for use in the L-bandor other based on practical use case

Antennas and Radio Channel Measurements Inside a Battery Emulator”, examines theantenna design considerations necessary for the use of wireless transmission inside a battery pack[17]. Three different types of antennae were tested for different frequency ranges. Double helix100 MHz - 600 MHz Planar helix 800 MHz - 1200 MHz Planar Inverted-F-Antenna (PIFA) 2200MHz - 2600 MHz. A simulated battery pack enclosure was constructed. The antennas were tested,and results analyzed. Some of the results from the study included low frequency fidelity, and highfrequency viability with special design consideration to overcome notching and reflection. The paper “Implementation of a wireless battery management system (WBMS)”introduces a strategy to implement

integration challenges,reinforced the importance of "learning how to learn" - an essential outcome for engineeringgraduates.Students also reflected on the value of early exposure to hands-on tinkering, troubleshooting, andindependent projects during undergraduate coursework. They recommended that future studentscultivate a mindset focused on understanding the "why" behind technical content, rather thanonly procedural knowledge, to better transfer skills to novel scenarios.Overall, the senior design project experience provided an authentic, open-ended learningenvironment that required persistence, critical thinking, and systems-level problem-solving.Insights from this debriefing will inform future enhancements to project scaffolding, supportstructures

understanding of the concepts and theorieslearned. Furthermore, the construction and operation of the simulator requires thedevelopment of complex technical skills, such as dealing with sensors, motors,encoders, microcontrollers, programming dynamic system controllers, graphicalinterfaces for simplified human interaction, among other technical skills developed. The project structure, divided into progressive phases, reflects common steps inreal-world engineering projects. Conceptualizing a system, simulating it, and validatingit is an integral part of developing a project, from conception to implementation,emphasizing practical experimentation in a controlled environment. Finally, the development of this simulator is justified by its
