Plans for the future include: • Increase the number of projects and better understand when and how learning takes place. • Understand knowledge gaps in building automated system and better synchronize lectures with project milestones. • Provide better examples and samples of project deliverables at the beginning of the class. • Build more automated system modules that allow students to see how different processes

But, from the author’s experience, with proper planning, this approach hadactually made the learning as well as the teaching process more efficient and easier. It wasobserved that the students were very enthusiastic and fully engaged during both the workshopand classroom sessions compared to the lecture only approach.Technical educators today are required to help learners acquire both soft and hard skills to meetthe industry needs and expectations. More than 50% of the students enrolled in MechanicalEngineering program were sponsored by local industries and the students are expected to bereadily employable upon graduation.

For planning purposes, four students per printer is a suggested ratio.  The students learned that mass was the major factor in flight performance. Maximum mass will be added to the design intent.  Students responded that the current simulation and analysis required is too much. We will consider reducing the analysis or allow students to work in teams of two such that the work load is divided.  During the Final Assembly Event, students responded that they appreciated being able to physically realize a product of

themotion of the hammers, etc. must all make the proper contribution to the way the fortepianokeyboard action feels to the musician. The plan proposed initially was to build a single-keymodel as a starting point and then begin removing mechanical components in an effort to reducecosts and complexity. The design team replaced more complicated components like hammersand escapement pawls with simpler devices involving springs and latch mechanisms, made witha 3D printer.By the winter quarter the students constructed a 5-key prototype that gave us a platform to test afew types of alternative mechanisms. Larger parts such as key bodies were made from wood, asthey were too big to be 3D printed by Dimension FDM 3D printer. Pictured below are twovariations

Under this design objective, alternative cost-effective and sustainable drying technologies were explored for small and medium-sized hop farms.3.2 Scientific design methodTo avoid “design by trial and error”, the well-known scientific design method-quality functiondeployment (QFD), was applied to translate customer needs into measureable designcharacteristics. Customer (grower) needs were captured using discussions, interviews and surveys[5]. This understanding of the customer needs was then summarized in a product planning matrixor ‘house of quality’.

To aid the WLANperformance on a factory floor, it is thus advisable to take the following two measures: applymeans to combat the increased delay spread (in case of IEEE 802.11b) and (for all IEEE 802.11systems) carefully plan the frequency layout and access point placement.The newly emerging ZigBee technology has been designed specifically for sensor data andcontrol information at low data rates.
