For thisGIFTS talk, three course learning objectives are of particular focus: apply engineering design toaddress design opportunities; communicate engineering concepts and designs; and develop a“maker” mindset through hands-on fabrication experiences. A “maker” mindset refers to a set ofbeliefs that empower students to engage in hands-on building to proactively solve problems.While this course focuses on teaching design holistically, teaching CAD in this class hasremained isolated because of computer classroom limitations (one day per week). As technologyadvances, and our classrooms change, we are no longer limited by the computer classrooms

We developed an affordable multi-courseelectronics kit by condensing three current hardware kits in the Circuit Analysis, Mechatronics,and Design Methodology courses. By removing redundant components and replacing expensiveparts with cheaper alternatives, we reduced the cost of the condensed kit by approximately 30%compared to purchasing the three course-specific kits. To support the kit usage, we created anonline repository with electronic safety, microcontroller tutorials, basic hardware and softwareinstruction, and coding examples. We developed a pre
