forward, we will refer to the Sidekick basic kit for TILaunchPad™ as The System.Almost one hundred 5th grade science students used the system over the course of this pastacademic year. The goal of using the system was to allow the students to develop the skillsetnecessary to create a series of projects that utilized light emitting diodes (LEDs) and a moisturesensor. These projects fit well within the existing 5th grade science curriculum.Once the students understood how The System functioned, they developed and began testing aseries of systems to measure the moisture content of the air at a number of different locationsaround their school. These systems recorded moisture data for subsequent analysis. This was allfacilitated by using the system to

Such a new objective for today is the management and practical implementation ofinnovative projects, which requires new approaches and new specialists. Commercializationof innovative projects becomes the most relevant objective for all members of the process.No positive results can be achieved without a profound analysis of the proposed project andits highly professional operative management

An important component of this broader understanding of science and technology is the senior thesis. Allundergraduate students are required to write a senior thesis, usually on a topic in their field, under the supervisionof a technical advisor and an advisor from the Division of Technology, Culture, and Communication.

In the traditional classroom setting, examples are often used to convey specificelements of a project such as a difficult structural problem or a complex cost estimating situation.However, these blackboard-based examples often have a distinctively artificial feeling.

However, these bionic limbshave not been around long and the costs associated with them are still too high to make themaccessible to those who really need them.This student research project utilizes recently acquired skills in Electro-Mechanical EngineeringTechnology to lower the price of a bionic hand. The mechanical parts that make up the hand aredesigned using 3D CAD software and then created on a 3D-printer. Using 3D-printing, the handcan easily be scaled to any size much more cheaply than using traditional methods. The projectalso lowers cost by designing and creating its own EMG circuit.
