driver was employed toregulate two DC motors. In [6], a sun-tracking system was designed by using an AtMega 328pmicrocontroller, an array of photo resistive sensors, a double H-Bridge driver, and two gearedmotors. In [7], a sun-tracker system was developed by utilizing an Arduino UNOmicrocontroller. The control program activated the servo motor in the direction of the maximumsunlight intensity detected by a pair of light dependent resistor (LDR) sensors. In [8], a sun-tracking system was designed by using a deep recurrent neural network with long-term short-term units. The prediction algorithm could predict the best solar path for each day of the yearbased on location. In [9], a dual-axis sun-tracking system was designed by using a fusion

This “hands-on”, learning by doing approach is one that is very popular withstudents since it is in tune with the way students learn best. It is also in tune with the ethos ofRMIT University as an institution producing practically focused, work ready graduates, aspreviously discussed.Videos, which have now been produced for use in conjunction with several different lectureand laboratory classes, are accessed via Blackboard, which is part of RMIT’s Learning Hub.They are thus a practical and readily accessible learning tool as well as an innovative one.Since these videos are comprehensive in their coverage and segmented into appropriatelearning

presentation of the team’s workRole of the team facilitatorsA total of 7 facilitators worked with 3 to 6 teams. Facilitators were either engineering faculty (2),graduate engineering students (2), or professional engineers with at least 5 years’ experience (3).Two of the facilitators were in Lebanon, the rest were US-based. Facilitators met for 1 hour onceper week to coordinate activities and share best practices. The role of the facilitator was two-fold: to help the communication among the team, and to act as a technical mentor aiding the teamin the completion of their design project.Data CollectionThe purpose of this assessment project is to determine if a short-term, multinational, virtual teamexperience will enable students to work effectively as a

engineering curriculum. It will alsoillustrate the companion role that problems and projects play in the student learning experience.Overview There are several real constraints assigned to the task of transforming a college freshmaninto a proficient engineer. Time, talent, and tender certainly top the list. Even if talent andtender were eliminated, for example, by momentarily considering the best student body at a well-endowed engineering college taught by the best faculty possible, time would still be a formidableissue in itself. An engineering curriculum must use its courses to move its students frompotentially algebra illiterate high school graduates through a reasonable introduction of thevarious engineering disciplines and finally into

While this is animpressive resume, nothing fully prepares them for the “real world” challenges they will face asthey design and build a rocket-powered vehicle.

IntroductionPair programming is one of the twelve practices of Extreme Programming (XP), which is thebest known of the “agile” software-development methodologies that have gained widespreadattention in recent years. Agile methodologies attempt to mitigate some of the up-front designcosts of heavyweight methodologies, which expend a lot of effort on design before code iswritten, and to adapt more

A single mention of listening in one course isinsufficient. When programs are integrating communication skills, teamwork/leadership, andethics/societal impacts as required learning outcomes for ABET, listening can be explicitlyidentified to students as sub-elements among these outcomes. For example, students couldpractice their listening skills in association with oral presentations by their peers. Traditionalstudent

Inpractice, the top-down approach is counter-poised with situational exigencies concerning what isavailable, physically possible, permitted for use, or for which parties external to the developmentproject have imposed constraints. As a result, the practical method of systems engineering is toseek a comprehensive design solution that satisfies a range of constraints and provides a goodsolution which satisfices the major stakeholders.Systems engineering education stresses taking a holistic view of the situation to ensure that thesystem designed is the most appropriate throughout the system life cycle.
