Sensor and Signal ConditioningAngular displacement measurement of the handle is accomplished with a cylindrical permanentmagnet fixed to the handle’s shaft in direct proximity to an inexpensive ($4), dual-axis Halleffect sensor, the EM3242 (AKM Semiconductor, Inc.). This approach avoids rotational frictionand wear and enables a measurement solution for the system’s 360 degree angular range, anoption that was not possible in earlier Haptic Paddle designs. The EM3242’s analog output canalso be fed to an analog differentiator to

The free elective can be any 3xxx or 4xxx level course from ECET, MET,IT, CS or other related discipline.The capstone course is envisioned as either a capstone project in an area of BiomedicalEngineering Technology or as a supervised industrial Internship during which the student willgain a broad experience of some area(s) of Biomedical Engineering Technology. Students willbe required to write a report of their Internship experiences, and will also be provided with a Page 23.180.6grade based on feedback from their industrial supervisor.The

The results of interview investigated required information that Page 23.197.10was necessary for converting paper based system to the web-based. Based on interview results, i-Phone as the hardware and Google Drive as software were selected.RecommendationsThe next step will be creating the digital forms in Google Drive and testing in a real environmentto identify weaknesses and enablers.Furthermore, in the next studies, other applications of Google Drive can be considered inimproving management information system in construction.AcknowledgementThe author of

One employer stated that s/he found the LAESstudents to be “very bright individuals and excellent at creating new ways to make our office andproduction and distribution more cost effective. Great insight and skills come from their coursesfrom which they have taken at Cal Poly. I think all of the students that I have hired from CalPoly in other majors have all contributed their own style and knowledge to the company.”Another employer noted that the

models and reduce or eliminate grading time. Automatic grading can be used toassess many different modeling criteria, including but not limited to the proper selection andplacement of features, feature order, and use of constraints to capture design intent. The criteriaused to check the solid model can be selected to assess both procedural and strategic knowledge.Future work will involve implementation of automatic grading for quizzes, homework exercisesand/or online tutorials. We will design a range of skills assessments using the Precision LMSsystem and evaluate improvements in the students’ modeling skills.
