Programmable controller for sophomore capstone design projects.While various resources are available for learning about the Arduino and the shields used in thekit in isolation, students beginning in their study of microcontrollers might have difficulty insynthesizing that information. To speed their development, a custom user manual was developedfor the specific set of shields provided for the capstone project. The manual begins by discussinginstallation of the Arduino development environment along with options for powering theArduino board. Next the Grove shield is introduced along with code to read the various sensorsin the kit and light LEDs using the common Arduino commands

In the SPIRIT meetings,ENGR 199 participants were paired with ENGR 350 participants, while ENGR 200 participantswere paired with ENGR 400/450 participants. However, group work and project managementdiscussions involved participants from each grade level.

The projects selected were a traction systemfor femoral fractures and a manual cast-cutting device. With the curricular modifications, allfirst-year students completed several steps in the engineering design process and createddimensioned drawings as well as low-fidelity prototypes of their design solutions in the PIDS.The final-year capstone design courses in mechanical and electrical engineering have also beentransformed to emphasize prototyping. Final-year students with access to the PIDS completedmore steps

In addition, the objectives are also planned to be assessed throughstudents’ capstone senior projects. But at the time of creation of this work-in-progress paper, thestudents who took this course have not worked on their senior project yet, as a result, this part ofthe assessment is planned to be conducted once the students worked on their senior projects.

Within each room of the house, a LaunchPad/BoostXL-SensorPack monitorsa number of environmental variables such as temperature, humidity, light intensity, etc. Thesedata are then published to the Cayenne broker for storage and display.

Once students areintroduced to these concepts, they are expected to incorporate them to the extent applicable intheir chemical process selected for the capstone design experience in Design III. The fourthconcept of hazardous chemical substitution has rarely been implemented based on theinstructor’s experience in the senior design courses, since this tends to be more in the purview ofchemical product development rather than chemical process formulation and simulation.
