Arduino has beenwidely used for teaching junior and senior level controls [3]-[9] and microprocessor courses [10],computer engineering capstone projects [11], and communication systems courses [12].Arduino has also been widely used in lower-division courses. For freshman engineering students,Arduino was used as a platform to teach programming, design, and measurement [13]. In thiswork, the authors transited the Living with the LAB curriculum, which used the Boe-Bot mobilerobotics and the Basic Stamp microcontroller, to the Arduino platform.

Class sizes are typicallysmall, averaging around 20-25 students per class, with no teaching assistants. Students arerequired to take two co-ops, one each during their junior and senior years, with an optional co-opduring the sophomore year. Co-ops can be paid and off-campus with industry and academicpartners, or the students can do on-campus research and work with faculty/staff (paid orunpaid).The rest of the paper is as follows: Section 2 describes the project from a technical perspective;Section 3 describes the planned student and technical outcomes; Section 4 details the results ofthe project, with Section 5 providing lessons learned

This project aimed at utilizing an Internet of Things (IoT)- based platform to measure these quantities remotely. In this system, oil temperature, oil level and oil permittivity are measured with custom transducers. This information is then collected and sent to a remote server that can be accessed from any computer or smart phone. This real-time information could reveal problems within a transformer or elsewhere in the power system, creating a more precise way to dispatch system maintenance. SE

Still, to the extent that more persons outside the universitycould potentially be affected by industry-sponsored projects, the issue of liability shouldbe seriously addressed.Professional ResponsibilityThe issue of professional responsibility must also addressed.

This is good onthe on hand because it provides maximum flexibility to the teachers for incorporation of conceptsinto their classes as time permits and other teaching requirements allow.
