new electrochemical glucose sensing technique using the contact lenses has manypotential advantages over currently existing invasive and non-invasive methods. A highlyprecision voltage source, accurate electrical components including electronically embeddedcontact lens, and a sophisticated analyzing system such as precision current monitor will be usedin this study. The contact lens glucose sensing method introduced in this work can beminiaturized using current integrated circuit and semiconductor technology, and has the potentialto provide a low cost, fast, stable, and compact non-invasive glucose sensor for the diabeticpatients within near future.

Missing or inadequacy of addressing those criticalcomponents may result in negative evaluation by ABET program evaluators (PEV s). Therefore,it is important for any engineering program to adopt a proper capstone model to satisfy ABETprogram assessment requirements.In view of these contexts, this paper discusses the capstone model used by the engineeringprogram at the Southern Arkansas University (SAU).

Results are presented for the sensor readings for dilute solutions ofammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) in various concentrations. The participating students show a verygood correlation of concentration level with the output response of the QCM. The students alsofind that QCM is very sensitive to the scan rate of the voltage potential.Ammonium nitrate has long been used as a high nitrogen fertilizer in the agriculture industry.
