One possible solution to theproblem, a multi-year design/build/test project, is currently being studied by the authors. Theproject, a bench-scale hybrid powertrain, is completed by our students over the course of fivesemesters. The focus of this paper is the set of electronic circuitry needed to sense and controlthe powertrain. This is the latest installment in a series of papers discussing the project; see [2-6]for a fuller description.The “prime mover” in the benchtop hybrid is a small engine powered by compressed air, whichis designed and fabricated

Second, the course must be able to combineengineering and critical thinking skills with mathematics in order to prepare students for higherlevel courses. Third, since the development of an engineering identity has been linked withstudent retention, a goal of this project is to determine if an early exposure to engineeringcontributes to the development of an engineering identity in those non-calculus ready studentsenrolled in the
