Arduino has beenwidely used for teaching junior and senior level controls [3]-[9] and microprocessor courses [10],computer engineering capstone projects [11], and communication systems courses [12].Arduino has also been widely used in lower-division courses. For freshman engineering students,Arduino was used as a platform to teach programming, design, and measurement [13]. In thiswork, the authors transited the Living with the LAB curriculum, which used the Boe-Bot mobilerobotics and the Basic Stamp microcontroller, to the Arduino platform. In [14], Sullivan et al. usedArduino in an Introduction to Mechanical Engineering course where freshman students designedand implemented a cornerstone project

After two years, theprogram has worked quite well, with all team members appreciating the chance to workon a real world problem, to work with students in other disciplines, and to learn how towork effectively on a team of people with many different backgrounds.Introduction Seniors in most undergraduate engineering programs undertake some kind ofsenior capstone design project. These are usually team projects that can range from paperdesigns to physical prototypes. In many cases, the teams are primarily composed ofengineers within the same discipline1; mechanical engineers working with othermechanical engineers and so forth. As a result, all team members have similar expertiseand

In addition, the numberof models available for students to explore is limited to those included in the package.
