Larry Himes, Jr. is currently seeking a full time university faculty position. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020A Low Cost Kiosk for Student Learning of Human Machine Interface (HMI) Dr. Larry Himes, Jr. (KG9KV)AbstractThe use of touch sensing devices is common in this day and age. Capacitive touch sensing is themost widely used, but there are resistive and reflective means as well. Low cost, simple circuitry,easy to implement and simple to program were the four factors considered for classroom use. Ameans of implementing the touch sensing in an application was another factor. The result was akiosk to be assembled and programmed by Electrical Engineering Technology

course centers on a reinforced concrete structure. The process involved in the course issimilar to the course taken a year before, thus in this course there exists time to introduce BIMfor the purpose of structural design instead of the required RISA instructional lectures. A BIMmodel is developed prior to the start of the course that all students have access to and that will beused to establish a large part of the three-dimensional design model. The process of interfacing aBIM model from Revit with the RISA-3D program is one that will allow one model to be usedfor dual purposes - modelling of a building design, and modelling of the structure for the purposeof analysis and design.Interface ProcessThe Risa-Revit link allows for round trip changes

Parker,assessing student writing across the curriculum, used a semester-spanning aggregation methodbased on the number of assignments demonstrating the desired level and number ofcompetencies. Also notable was the implementation of a standards-based approach without
