To help college students tolearn the latest multidisciplinary approach to product design, in the fall 2010, the departments ofmechanical engineering technology and computer engineering technology introduced a hands-ondesign project in their respective capstone courses as well as in extracurricular undergraduateresearch projects. These hands-on design projects contained mechanical design,electrical/electronic design as well as software design components.In previous studies, various embedded systems such as Compact real-time controller (cRIO)from National Instruments, NXT brick from Lego Mindstorm, and Arduino
