This is a lab that is being considered for addition to a new Mechatronicscourse being introduced in the Mechanical Engineering Technology program at Farmingdale StateCollege once we can successfully complete it in our research. An Arduino microcontroller inconjunction with a CNC shield is being programmed to run stepper motors that drive the gatefunction. Figure 7: CNC shield mated to Arduino Microcontroller Another element of the project is how to remotely signal the Arduino to open/close thegate. The current focus is to use an inexpensive IR sensor connected to the Arduino operated witha remote control. This would be another lab in the Mechatronics course. Miniaturizing onto a

. Achieving these skills requires modernized teaching methodsthat engage students in open-ended assignments where students encounter uncertain data thatforces them to question the results of technical computations. These are some of the key reasonsfor a large energy transformation project underway in an Engineering Technology program. Thetransformation project crosses traditional course boundaries by highlighting similar energyconversion processes that occur in many different disciplines. As one example of the progress sofar, undergraduate students in a thermodynamics course assisted with the installation of an 8 kWsolar photovoltaic array on the roof of a campus building. More importantly, a web-basedgraphic interface was created so that future

It is unlikelythat most students would pick up on the same potential issues that instructors may be able toidentify like poor practices in drawing FBDs.Quantitative comparison of student performance in StaticsAs shown in Table 1, there are very few mechanical engineering programs that do not requirePhysics I as a prerequisite to Statics in the United States, which makes testing the necessity of aPhysics I pre/co-requisite difficult.
