 Mechanical DesignThe centerpiece of the new Intro to ME curriculum is a 9 week lab sequence in which studentsbuild a small bore pneumatic powered potato gun that is controlled using an Arduinomicrocontroller. In the initial 3 weeks of the course, students learn to use the machine shop tofabricate the potato gun components. In the next four weeks, students are introduced to theArduino microcontroller and use it to control a solenoid piloted pneumatic valve, (used to fire thegun), as well as a stepper motor, (used to adjust the angular position of the gun). Finally, in thelast 2 weeks of this project, students integrate the electrical and mechanical components, alongwith a firing control program to operate the gun. While potato cannons are undeniably

Here we willreview some proposed uses for ENoCS as a supplemental tool in a computer architecture course,with suggested use and examples of assignment questions. ENoCS version 1.0 includes basicpacket-switched network functions, so the assignments discussed here focus on the basics ofnetwork instruction, rather than the more advanced functionality. As such, it is recommended thatcourses that adopt ENoCS use it only as a supplement to traditional lectures. Future versions ofENoCS will include an in-depth tutorial that will include definitions

Teaching this within an engineering curriculum could improve students’confidence in their ability to write in the professional world, addressing audiences with differentneeds and interests.We believe the same problem regarding lack of explicit instruction may exist for teamworkskills. Anecdotally, we know students are often asked to work in teams without being providedguidelines for how effective teams function. We can help students learn teamwork by discussingsuch simple things as how to develop an agenda for a meeting to

Many students also useArduino in their senior design projects. Witnessing that Arduino is being introduced at high schoollevel [11], and after experimenting with one section of first year students, we decided to introduceall mechanical engineering students to Arduino early in their first year. This gives an opportunityfor our students to learn about microcontrollers, circuits, electronics, sensor-actuator integrationand programming at the beginning of their education in a project-based environment.
