These skills include defining systems with multiple unit operations and complexinterconnections, writing and solving systems of equations based on chemical reactionstoichiometry and kinetics, and scale-down of a system from human-scale to “lab-on-a-chip”micro-scale using dimensionless numbers. Additionally, we wanted to create a project thatwould encourage teamwork and cooperation in developing problem-solving strategies and in theanalysis and evaluation of the results.

called from the Arduino code as needed. TheArduino IDE’s editor page is used to write the Arduino program called a “sketch.” The Arduinoenvironment transforms the sketch into a C++ program through pre-processing that slightlymodifies the sketch, e.g., by adding automatically generated function prototypes. Following thepre-processing, the resulting code is compiled using a C/C++ compiler (avr-g++). The Arduinoenvironment supports various C/C++ programming constructs that work with avr-g++. See Ref.[12] for additional details on the Arduino build process. Figure 1: VEX educational robotics kit3.

faculty to do a better job of integrating science, math and communication in the engineering curricula.17,18,19 In 1995, the National Research Council’s (NRC) Board on Engineering Education called upon all engineering colleges to provide more exposure to interdisciplinary/cross-disciplinary aspects of teamwork, hands-on experience, creative design, and exposure to “real” engineering and industrial practices, identifying integration of key fundamental concepts in science and engineering as the number-one principle for new engineering curricula and culture.20 Ideally, entire curricula would comprehensively integrate these subjects. However, integrating these subject domains into engineering is most critical at the freshman level
