proposed future work plan consists of two parts: a short-term part that Page 24.935.15will be available the next time the course is offered to students and a long-term part that dependson the available industrial support. The short-term future work plan includes: 1- In regards to the students’ preference to have additional challenging problems with extra credits, a final design project will be added to the curricula of the lab where students will combine all of their class and laboratory work. The project is based on their knowledge of power electronics, motor control, system modeling and analysis and performance measurements

, but also because from theeconomics point of view a 48 VDC battery system has become very feasible.The module has the objective of designing a residential BESS system according to the case(example) indicated in this paper. Modeling with Simulink is required, following the simulationshown in this paper. Students are required to know Simulink previous to this project. Simulink istaught at the junior level in the “numerical analysis” course and the IEEE and HKN societiesoffer workshops on Matlab/Simulink every semester. BESS is not included in the curriculum yet,thus there is no data for us to use to assess this module’s effectiveness in student learning, assoon as we teach this material, we will have more information and will be able to identify

ProgramAbstractDesign and Innovation Centers are becoming popular creativity hubs on many engineeringcampuses. While a number of centers, such as Stanford University’s d-school and NorthwesternUniversity’s Segal Design Institute have existed for a long time, a significant number of otherengineering centers have recently been established and even more are in the planning phase.These centers generally offer a location, infrastructure, and support for the university communityto learn and work in a hands-on project-centered environment. Though each design center has aunique purpose relative to its home institution, the centers have all had a significant impactinstilling design experiences into the campus culture.

Experimental Design Course Projects Involving the Use of a SmartphoneIntroductionThe Mechanical Engineering senior laboratory course at the University of Idaho is a project-based course that focuses on experimental design and requires students to design, perform andanalyze their own statistically based experiments. A difficulty that arises each semester,especially in the Fall when there are 40 plus students, is finding enough appropriate experimentsthat can be designed, ran, and analyzed in the last two-thirds of the semester (the course is onesemester) with minimal funds. In the past, we used “canned” projects or Senior Capstoneprojects; however, the canned projects were not interesting to the students and it is becomingharder to develop

expected to have acurriculum culminating in a major design experience, commonly referred to as either a “seniordesign” or a “capstone” project, based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier coursework. One challenge that programs face is providing appropriate technical and professionalfeedback to students on their capstone projects. For example, students may be working in anapplication domain in which the faculty member has limited knowledge, or may be using newertechnologies that the faculty member has not used before. To overcome these problems, it isoften advantageous for the team to partner with an industrial mentor. The industrial mentor canprovide technical assistance to the project as well as provide impartial and unbiased feedback

Third, they limited themselves to familiar tasks that aligned with theiracademic discipline.
