The base unit features an abundant array of connectionsto the outside world, including 40 GPIO pins, four USB ports for keyboard, mouse, WiFi USB device,plus separate RJ45 Ethernet jack, plus micro-USB and micro-HDMI ports. Odroid markets a platformcompatible 3.2” TFT touchscreen display for use with the C1. In this project, the programmedtouchscreen provides a user-friendly kiosk-like interface.

This programbrought 12 students from different areas of the United States to North Dakota to performcybersecurity research related to cyber-physical systems. This paper reports the results of thisinitial year of the REU program. In particular, it discusses the projects that the studentsundertook as well as the benefits that they derived from participation.1.

Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Incorporating Research and Design in a Community College Engineering ProgramAbstractTraditional engineering undergraduate research and design is typically seen in four-yearinstitutions, restricted to junior- and senior-level students. In large institutions, freshman- andsophomore-level students are generally seen to be ill-equipped to take on complex projects,particularly while muddling through the basics of calculus, physics, and electronics. Ourinstitution, McLennan Community College, through a partnership with the Council onUndergraduate Research (CUR), has been challenging that assumption. Students are beingintroduced to research and design methods in the

In this paper, we describe the integration of service-learning into anundergraduate industrial engineering course.Over the past three years, students in the course have worked with four community partners tocomplete service-learning projects. The community partners have included a high school,community library, local farm, and an assistive technology center. Students worked directly withcommunity partners to improve operations and ergonomics within their facilities.

A “KEEN” team project was given to the students in which they were asked to pretend that they were members of a startup company that would design, build, test, market, and sell a product with some dynamics content to it. As part of the exercise, the 20 teams worked on idea generation, concept development and identification of required activities, in addition to writing a draft Business Plan. Product ideas varied across different economic sectors including power generation, sports technology, transportation, food and beverage technology, and health care.

Converting wasteto bioethanol creates a fuel from a biomass that would have been energetically wasted during thedecomposition process. Using bioethanol or blending it with gasoline both reduce the relianceon fossil fuel and ultimately reduce the carbon dioxide entering the atmosphere. Thus, it is a trulysustainable transport fuel.In this paper, the design of the bioreactor, instrumentation and automation mechanisms arepresented.
