We report on studentsatisfaction associated with team formation, project selection, and project presentation aspects.For each of these aspects, an interactive, virtual conferencing platform is utilized in whichparticipants can freely move between small informal groups at any time. This platform'sstructure is designed to mimic a traditional in-person exhibition. Participants can listen topresentations at tables, ask questions, talk individually, and move to a different location at theirdiscretion.

This project is nominally a two-year effort, though some projects have taken longer to complete. Recently, a couple of theprojects have experienced several significant setbacks due the decommitment of the originalsponsor of the project, change of the project location, and significant change of the scope of thedesign.

The gantry crane project provides an opportunity for students to apply severalconcepts learned in the text and in lecture. They are required to idealize the threedimensional structure as a two-dimensional structure with support reactions andappropriate connections between the structural members. The students are then asked tosolve for the support reaction forces and moments using methods of structural analysis.Students learn to use structural analysis software to check the accuracy of their

The deep learning algorithms for path planning/searching and  self-driving will eventually lead to an autonomous golf cart (AGC) that can navigate the campus  of Eastern Michigan University. We will integrate peripheral sensors such as Lidar, GPS, IMUs,  and control systems to the golf cart. The original golf cart’s mechanical chassis is the control  system’s foundation.
