Krishnamurthi [12] used Node-RED, a visualprogramming language developed by IBM, to develop a two-credit, lab-only course offered toundergraduate engineering students. This was a project-based course to study IoT sensors,gateways, and cloud services. Node-RED can model application functionality between IoTdevices but not the IoT devices themselves. This is useful for students to study the interactionbetween IoT devices, but it still requires investing in physical IoT hardware. M. Leisenberg andM.

Physical computing has been apart of P-12 engineering curricula and instruction in other countries for several years (e.g.,England); however, there is a limited amount of research investigating the benefits of physicalcomputing within P-12 engineering contexts in the U.S. [10]. Moreover, there is limitedliterature on training P-12 teachers in the U.S. to deliver physical computing instruction.Previous studies have indicated that physical computing can be challenging for students andinstructors because of the multi-faceted complexities associated

bicycle to store the energy that was being generated [2]. We adopteda system similar to this but used our circuit to convert that energy into thermal energy.With our model, we used an actual wheelchair to best resemble that our concept works. Having theactual wheelchair allowed us to properly put our device to use. The project was split into two mainprocesses: hardware and software. The hardware involved determining how to best place ourgenerator and gears on the wheels to best harness energy. On the other hand, the software involvedusing our Sparkfun circuit to translate the rotational energy to thermal energy.This work was carried out within the framework of an innovative teaching approach used in a newlydesigned eighty-credit engineering
