In Fall 2022, a set ofprojects were developed for a junior level dynamics course. In prior offerings of this course, thetypical dynamics theory was covered and assessed using textbook assigned problems and exams.The developed projects required the students to recollect their knowledge of MATLABprograming from their programming class taught during their first year and apply those skills tosolve systems over a specified time instance. In this paper, the three projects developed arepresented. Subsequently, the assessment of the students’ performance with respect to the desiredlearning outcomes is

The Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) program’s faculty and graduate students were tasked to design a low-cost system that connects the theoretical concepts learned in class and real-world applications. This system was designed with a modular approach to develop new experiments using the existing system. The developed system is an integration of National Instrument’s (NI) LabVIEW software, NI’s myDAQ (a portable and easy-to-program low-cost data acquisition device), a DC motor with a built-in rotary encoder, and a PCB with the motor
