series of relatively worthless trinkets thathad little to no intrinsic value.This paper describes the design and implementation of a simple bottle opener project that servesas the framework for an entry-level introduction to machining in an undergraduatemanufacturing course. The bottle opener’s design allows students to machine it using variousmanufacturing sequences, so they may start on any of several machines and end up with thesame final product. This paper also provides an assessment of the effectiveness of theimplementation of this project through the use of student grades and performance, an assessmentof the quality of team products and prototypes in a follow-on project, surveys, interviews withstudents, and course-end student feedback

However, there is little transition between the highlydefined problems provided in lecture and laboratory courses versus the open-ended projectstudents are asked to solve in their capstone design course. The capstone design projects for theNanosystems Engineering program is provided by faculty across a variety of disciplines.Therefore, it became evident that rather than expecting each faculty mentor to provide certainbasic skills, a more effective approach would be to have all Nanosystems Engineering students towork on a smaller open-ended project in the last quarter of the Junior year to teach all theelements that they would need to apply more deeply in their capstone project the following year.The educational

This paperinvestigates the ongoing work of restructuring a traditional one-semester, 3-credit springcapstone experience in materials science and engineering into a two-semester fall (1-credit) andspring (2-credit) experience. During the restructuring of the capstone experience, the Human-Centered Design (HCD) framework, a method to formalize the design process in discrete stages,was integrated into the course content. Due to course catalog constraints, a 1-credit fall coursewas piloted in Fall 2022 as an elective for seniors (enrollment was approximately 30% of thesenior population); the traditional 3-credit course was still required of all seniors in Spring 2023.Aspects of HCD were

RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture (ISA). Toimplement this project, we used the SN74LS283N 4-bit full adder IC, the SiFive HiFive1 Rev B boardthat hosts a 32-bit RISC-V processor, breadboard, LEDs, and few resistors. To program the circuit,we used Visual Studio Code with the PlatformIO extension to allow deployment and debugging of theRISC-V assembly code on the HiFive board. The goal of this project was to demonstrate the full 4-bitadder truth table by cycling through different inputs and displaying the adder output using LED lights.The input to the adder was driven by onboard GPIO pins that were actuated through RISC-V assemblycode. Using the SiFive HiFive1 Rev B manuals, we identified the base memory addresses of the GPIOpins and the

What is the difference between researchprojects and design projects and why doesn’t ABET allow the substitution?

Finding “real world” applications which can be implemented at theundergraduate level has always proved challenging as well. One method of achieving thisis to define an application area which can be managed by responsible faculty and whichcan be broken into small enough tasks to be suitable for completion by succeeding yearsof undergraduate students in their capstone design activity.At Western Carolina University and Florida Institute of Technology, a project has beenundertaken which is achieving many of these goals.
