toothbrush. Students will beexpected to write a report with detailed description of all steps taken during the development ofthe prosthetic limb.Once we perfect the prosthetic arm, the same process can be applied to development of otherlimbs such as arms or legs. 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. It is therefore important to show the

Supervisor feedback (35% of the final grade) is critical. Eachstudent is required to have a supervisor, direct or indirect supervisor, who is aware of student’sperformance. Supervisors are determined by the companies at which students are employed. Forthe internal research projects, supervisors are determined by the students as they choose theirproject and the owner of it. The supervisor is approached (most likely through phone contact ande-mail) for both

The catalog description of the courseincludes the following:Product design, CAD and related software; basic principles, development,process chain of additive manufacturing; photopolymerization processes; powder based fusionprocesses; extrusion-based systems; printing processes; sheet lamination processes; beamdeposition processes; direct write technologies; design for additive manufacturing; guidelines forprocess selection; software issues and direct digital manufacturing; medical applications; postprocessing; use of multiple materials
machining and steel for welding. • The cost of the materials should not be significantly increased from the current year’s lab.Each team submitted a report describing the proposed product and the sequence of lab activitiesneeded to fabricate each component. Each team also presented a 5-minute “sales pitch” to theirclassmates. The students peer evaluated the projects in four categories: feasibility, cost,presentation quality, and appeal. The highest scoring project (Fig. 5) was created in thefabrication lab the following year (spring semester 2018). Overall, the reflection essays anddesign project established the grade for the hands-on component.Figure 5: The winning lab design project was a Christmas Tree consisting of a milled aluminum“tree” (1
electronic components;7. Do the calibrations, conduct flying tests, correct the errors, and make the drone to fly;8. Write the final reportwith the team members and prepare the poster for final presentation in consultation with the academic training advisor. Submit the final report and make the oral and poster presentation.In addition, this project is designed to fully/partially satisfy some of the ABET's student learningoutcomes that include:b. An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data;c. An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as safety, manufacturability, and sustainability;d. An ability to function on multidisciplinary teams;g

on problem solving and STEM related. 3. Doing activities that hands on, messy, relevant to the girls’ world, and age appropriate (11yo to 14yo).Engineering is based on design that includes identifying a problem and finding a solution whileconsidering constraints and trade-offs. While students are introduced to STEM concepts andnotions, there is a stringent need to present them with design principles blended with open-endedproblem-solving approaches faced by engineers in real life applications.The activities presented aimed to tap into the natural curiosities of the young women for inquiry,communication, construction and expression. Inquiry into the topics presented below for processunderstanding of design, communication through peer

And if education is about the ‘lighting of a flame not the filling of a pail’—weshould be putting the tools of discovery, invention and fabrication at the fingertips of everychild—inside and outside of the classroom.”The maker culture typically emphasizes “informal, networked, peer-led, and shared learningmotivated by fun and self-fulfillment.” [2] It has grown up outside of formal learning structures,but many educational institutions are now actively seeking ways to adopt this culture
