Overall, many different fields of engineering can benefitfrom this application, enabling the development of skill and knowledge in many differentengineering aspects and processes. As this capstone design project provides opportunities forstudents to design & manufacture, it stimulates the students’ interest in real-world productrealization. As manufacturing laboratories are very expensive to develop, this project can also beadapted at other institutions that have limited funding to improve manufacturing processfacilities.Background In Drexel University’s School of Technology and Professional Studies, many courses relatedto robotics, design, and materials are offered to the

MethodologyEMD-MLR’s main approach is to involve undergraduate students into Student Design Project(SDP) teams with each team working on an individual machine learning project with a definiteresearch orientation. The term “SDP” refers to senior design projects in engineering disciplinesor capstone course in computer science disciplines. Each team consists of 4 undergraduatestudents (3 from a group of seniors at FIT or UCF and one sophomore student from BCC andSSC, respectively). Each SDP team is advised weekly by at least one EMD-MLR faculty and, ifneeded, will is more frequently by a Ph.D. student mentor

The primary objective of the project is to address the issue of solutionaccuracy1 and its importance in computer aided design (CAD). Secondary objectives of theproject are to reinforce the CAD process, introduce the computer numerically controlled (CNC)machining process, and to provide some of the tools and skill helpful to students during theirsenior capstone design projects. The primary CAD tools used in the completion of the project are solid modeling and thefinite element method (FEM). Critical to the successful application of the FEM, under allcircumstances, is the generation of an accurate solution. As defined
