Students will work on a designproject each semester of their undergraduate education: one project in each of the four newcourses during the freshman and sophomore years; the year-long design of an autonomous robotin existing Mechatronics I and II courses; and the year-long senior capstone project. Theseprojects provide a natural vehicle to teach multiple engineering skills in a structured environmentby requiring students to design and build physical devices that are evaluated by customers.Table 1.

Once students areintroduced to these concepts, they are expected to incorporate them to the extent applicable intheir chemical process selected for the capstone design experience in Design III. The fourthconcept of hazardous chemical substitution has rarely been implemented based on theinstructor’s experience in the senior design courses, since this tends to be more in the purview ofchemical product development rather than chemical process formulation and simulation. The listof chemical processes offered to students for their senior design project topic are commonly bulkorganic chemical production processes that typically include reactor conditions

Likewise, the costsfor faculty and teaching assistants are far greater per lab credit hour than for lecture.However, learning by doing is imperative for all engineering students. Just as I wouldnever consider a surgeon competent without any hands-on experience, I believe that allengineers must have experience in the real-world skills to implement their designs. Formany of our students, laboratory and capstone projects are where the book learningbecomes active knowledge by understanding how to make use of their education.The traditional engineering laboratory requires students to meet three hours a week in aroom.

At the conclusion of theenvironmental study, all students prepare confidential peer reviews of their teammates. Theinstructors use these reviews to pair recalcitrants in subsequent projects.

natural resources capable of producing energy,people and businesses are starting to look for better ways to help reduce their increasing electricbills. One way of reducing these costs is to monitor, in real time, how much power is beingconsumed and from these data make informed decisions about how to manage the electricaldevices being powered. A system that can give users an estimate of how much energy is being,has been, and might be consumed will allow them to adjust their habits and lower the costs.In this paper, we describe a capstone senior design project that designs, builds, and tests awireless sensor and actuator network for monitoring the energy use of alternating current (AC)appliances in a home environment.
