Microcontroller. The speed to simulate the required torqueforces in the chip was estimated at between 50 and 90 rad/s. Some test results for chips areshown in Fig. 5, indicating the change in threshold torque with channel geometry. A Gantt chartschedule for the 8-month project is shown in Fig. 6.Conclusion and Discussion. This project proved to be an instructive case study for senior designon several accounts: 1) it developed and tested a useful medical sensor with importantapplications, 2) it utilized a microfluidic chip as a sensor, rather than the more typicalapplications of microfluidics for sample processing and analysis, 3) it demonstrated that there isa place for completely non-electrical sensors, and 4) its easy prototyping allowed students

student facing credible accusation(s) ofacademic misconduct to plead ignorance.The Academic Honesty Quiz in this example incentivizes students to study the policies so theycan answer the questions. They cannot advance to further course content without scoring a100% on the quiz, but they can repeat the quiz an unlimited number of times. The quiz is both alearning motivation and provides an opportunity to start the course with an easily obtained highscore that counts towards the course grade. Many instructors use syllabi quizzes to ensurestudents are familiar with other administrative details about the course, so creating a quiz with afocus on academic honesty is an educational tool that doesn’t require extensive time to set up

ThenAdam worked for four companies because he was laid-off from three. While unemployed, Adamreflected on his past and planned for his future. Adam realized he had not engaged inmeaningful work when he was employed; he wanted that opportunity. He said industry taskswere procedural; everything could be looked up in a

Studies are explicit in this approach: each Case Study makes the point to consider issues inrealistic practices. Instructors can present the Case Study while guiding students into furtherstudy and discussion of the practical issues in SV&V. The Class Exercises are designed forinteraction in the classroom during group discussions. The instructor brings the question(s) andserves as a moderator to guide the discussion session. The instructor may also use the ClassExercise to lead students into subsequent group mini projects or individual mini projects. The“Instructor Notes” component of the Class Exercise discusses these possibilities. Students arelikely to find the Case Study Videos by their nature as multimedia, as highly engaging. Thesevideos
