also observed when the students were testing their projects prior tothe competition.This project also highlights several problems and successes the students had with the project.Properly biasing the line sensors proved to be the most difficult part of the project. Readingdatasheets provided an additional challenge. There were several positive outcomes, includingthe use of lab notebooks to review topics from previous labs as well as trouble shootingexperiences.Every group successfully completed the “brawn” part the robot project and competed in achallenge (See Appendix B). The students expressed a positive experience on this project eventhough it required numerous hours of work outside of the allotted class time
switch through the SIO interface. 4. Change the switch input and monitor the LED behavior. a. If the switch is open, the LED will turn ON. b. However, if the switch is closed, the LED will turn OFF.After assembling the circuit and successfully testing the SIO module functionality using the switchand the LED, it is required to monitor the transmitted signal between the master and the slave asfollows. 1. Connect channel 1 and 9 from the MSO to the master and slave PICs serial clock respectively to monitor the system clock. 2. Connect channel 2 and 10 from the MSO to the master serial output and the slave serial input respectively to monitor the SIO signals when turning on/off the switch. 3
instructor’s family). The change from four to three quizzes was madebecause enrollments in the class are now climbing and we wished to free up more TA time sothey can actively participate in piazza discussions and other new in-class activities we are tryingout. Quiz grading is also as consistent as we can make it. We start with simple grade standards(A: 91-100; B: 81-90; C: 71-80; D: 61-70) and then, if necessary, adjust the ranges down slightly(e.g. use 11 points per grade rather than 10). We do this to correct for any unanticipatedproblems with issues like the wording of questions and use the grades from previous terms as aguide. The students are told that if everyone gets 91 or better, they will all earn an A grade (itnever happens). However, in

These outcomes are listed below:(a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering(b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data(c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realisticconstraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety,manufacturability, and sustainability(d
≠ Participation in discussions and debates supported by PowerPoint presentations ≠ Team work and team reportingThe engineering profession has evolved during the latter half the last century to require thatengineers communicate with diverse audiences, including upper managers and administrators,colleagues from various disciplines, co-workers, students, and the public at large. The means ofcommunication have also multiplied from oral and written to presentations with visualization,audio-visual, simulation, and internet content. As a result, the communication skills thatengineers need in the practice of their profession now include: a. Good technical writing techniques and general composition; b. Oral communication and presentation
