degree of complexity in design, the use of simulation enablesengineering students the ability to develop solutions for the system requirements. However, thiscan become problematic to adequately provide a realistic environment for teaching the design ofrobotics systems. In recent years, with the coordination between Cal Poly Pomona and BoysRepublic, we have developed Project Ponderosa. Project Ponderosa provides Cal Poly Pomonaengineering students the opportunity to design various robotics, and automation systems that willbe operated and maintained by Boys Republic students for Christmas Wreath Production at theirfacility. This project constitutes the college student’s senior capstone project providing themwith real-world experiences to prepare

Engineering California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, CA 91768, USAAbstractEGR 4810, 4820, and 4830, are a series of required Project Design Principles and Applications-“Capstone” Senior Project courses. This Senior Project is comprised of multidisciplinary majorswith multiple faculty advisors from Aerospace Engineering, Electrical and ComputerEngineering, Chemistry, and Mechanical Engineering. Students taking these courses are highlydependent on on-campus labs and off-campus test sites. However, the COVID-19 restrictionschallenge the academic environment and restrict the students’ ability to access the manufacturingfacilities and to work together. In this paper, we present the design, implementation, andoutcomes of the senior
