The students wrote a short report detailing theircalculations, use of psychrometric chart, and the input parameters.The assignment also included a survey to gauge students’ experience. The questions in thesurvey were: • Q1: How would you rate your overall experience with ME 3902 Internet of things (IoT) Engineering Experimentation (Evaporative Cooler)? • Q2: The IoT lab exercise (evaporative cooler) was designed such that you could complete the project work at home.

engineering curricula is important for the education of well-qualified engineers. While all accredited engineering programs are required to provide a majorcapstone design experience, the integration of design throughout the curriculum is oftenchallenging. The departments of biomedical engineering and industrial engineering at WesternNew England College have developed a design experience completed as a requirement in seniorengineering laboratory courses. The design project experience is in addition to the capstonedesign courses. This experience was used to demonstrate students’ ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams, design a system within realistic constraints, and understand the impact ofdesign solutions in a societal context.IntroductionA

Tuning consists of the selection of control systemparameters to ensure that the medium is maintained within a specified control range.Tuning further consists of the validation that the selected control system parameters arevalid. Frequently, tuning consists of providing a step change to the system and thenmonitoring the system response to determine system time and gain constants.
