The vibration pulses vary as signaled bythe duration that is detected by the two ultrasonic sensors on the front of the glove and the calculated distancein the program. With the use of a display or serial monitor in Arduino IDE itself, the calculated distances andcorresponding vibration lengths sent to the haptic motor can be observed. The current prototype is activatedwhen the hand is extended forward and deactivated by use of a tilt switch when the hands are down.

The project requires the students to design amachine, Rube Goldberg style, which will time three minutes as close as possible without goingover. The original intent of this Rube Goldberg machine was to time the hard-boiling of an egg.The idea of design in freshman engineering classes certainly is not new. For that matter the useof Rube Goldberg type designs in engineering education is not either. However, in this project,for the entire four weeks, the project was used

Many of the PM students have already taken the C3/C4 sequence, but we have graduatestudents who have not. The projects are sophisticated, requiring significant design, scheduling,and teamwork over an eight week period. In addition, because students in C4 have already takenC3, they are in a position to mentor the younger students even though the projects are differentfrom semester to semester.We have received validation that this approach is working.
