The goal of this paper is to utilize the Pico W as an inexpensive alternative to the dataacquisition hardware used for lab projects in electrical and computer engineering and engineeringtechnology programs. First, lab projects are shown to introduce students to MicroPython (a smallsubset of the Python standard library), Thonny (the software development environment for writingPython code and downloading it to the Pico W), and API functions for peripheral control. Examplesinclude LED control, analog input, OLED display, and a web server. Then, data acquisition projectsare shown to illustrate the design of measurement systems. These include the design of atemperature measurement system and a digital voltmeter system

middle school teachers (teaching Biology and Math) were selected toparticipate in research dealing with tissue engineering. Teachers worked for six weeks (fourdays a week) within the research laboratory on formation of porous structures usingbiodegradable polymers. Teachers were exposed to the technique of forming porous structuresusing chitosan and gelatin solution in various shapes using the apparatus available in thelaboratory. A low cost freeze drying system that is safe for operation by sixth grade students wasdeveloped. The overall cost of performing the experiment is also significantly cheap and lesstime consuming.An envisioned project for the current academic year under implementation in the sixth grade isfreeze drying chitosan-gelatin

The project presented here deals with anautomotive subassembly that needed to be redesigned and evaluated. The system is a powerslider assembly which is installed in the rear of current-model trucks and powers the rearwindow. The current design is bulky, expensive, and takes too much time to install. Theobjective of the project was to introduce a new design for the power slider which would be moreefficient in terms of operation

Once projects are awarded, freshmenenrolled in the “Introduction to Mechanical Engineering” courses are assigned to work with thesenior design teams. The senior teams function like small consulting companies that employ co-operative education students; e.g., the freshmen.One of the objectives of building this collaboration is a desire to increase the retention rate of thefreshmen by involving them with the seniors in what appears to be some interesting design work.Additionally, the seniors benefit by developing the ability to communicate their ideas to a non-technical audience as
