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

, environmental, and societal impact of manufacturing.For this activity, students formed themselves into teams of 2-3 students. Part of the lecture timewas devoted in the beginning to explain students about the module, rubrics, assessments anddeliverables. A feedback on student progress was given in week 3 during in class lecture time.Module activities were performed out of class majority of the time. The project stages were asfollows: (i) Week 1-2- Types of Souvenirs-Manufacturing process decided and e-mailed.(ii) Week 3-4- the economic and environmental, impact of manufacturing –paper submission.(iii) Week 5- Report and Presentation. Guidelines about how to write a bid were also given [9].These are given in Appendix 1.To jump start student discussion

. Discuss the results based on statistical theory;9. Write the final report with 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 (a-k) and/or proposed new outcomes (1-7) that include:b. An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data (new outcome 3);c. An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as safety, manufacturability, and sustainability (new outcome 2);d. An ability to function on

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
