Whereas we used to assign groups randomly, we now use the rank in class method to motivate underperforming students and give them one final chance to demonstrate subject mastery. • Computer applications project – a project that requires students to develop an Excel spreadsheet to solve an assigned set of engineering problems, write a training & operations manual for the spreadsheet in Word, and present their efforts to their peers using PowerPoint.

This project will benefit patients with disabilities and improve theirday-to-day lives at a fraction of the cost of current solutions.MotivationThe purpose of this project is to help low-income families’ children who have a disabled handand to expand students’ awareness of societal needs. With this project, students demonstrate thelearning and knowledge gained from the different sources, such as using Arduino board to designa myoelectric prosthetic arm.

Since the students had not yet been introduced to the X-Y coordinate system, a grid utilizing the cardinal directions of north, south, east and west wasused (see Figure 1). The grid was comprised of 3” squares which made it easy for groups of 4 or5 students to work together. Using a simple robot programming language developed for thistask (see Figure 2), students were asked to work with their group members to write a programthat would cause an industrial robot to move five 2” square wooden blocks, each having oneletter written on them, to designated grid locations to spell “ROBOT”.
