This hands-on design experience culminates with a review conducted by faculty and peers, an oral final presentation,a demonstration of the team’s design prototype, and a final written technical report. Through this projectstudents gain exposure to the implementation of principles of design and engineering methodologies,project management, and presentation skills in a structured, systematic, and scientific way. TDP teamsare asked to design an embedded system using the Arduino UNO Starter Kit. The project is open-endedby design. This allows students to creatively design and prototype a system that satisfies the submissionrequirements involving several components from the kit categorized as trigger
