Appendix A and B. But briefly, the first projectlasted 4 weeks and was Halloween themed. Students were encouraged to develop an interactivedevice to ‘scare’ trick-or-treaters. This was the first change to integrate multiple disciplinaryskills, including the Pico boards. Weeks 6-9 - A Truly Scary Halloween Project - See Appendix A for details Weeks 10-15 - Tunnel of Love - See Appendix B for detailsThe last project lasted for 6 weeks and comprised of a two-part design for each team of fourstudents. Students were task with making a device to launch balls at a moving target, and theteam also made their own moving targets. They then competed against all the other teams in theclass. All the devices were required to be remotely controlled

These signals are converted into digitalsignals for microcontroller comprehension. Conversely, there's a requirement to convert digitalsignals from microcontrollers into analog signals. The signal conversion section comprises: a) Apotentiometer: This component simulates a varying analog input voltage that will be fed into oneof internal 12-bit analog-to-digital (A/D) converters. It provides students with a practicalplatform for learning and implementing A/D converter programming; b) A 3-axis MEMSacceleration

create assignments and projects. This paper discusses fourteaching strategies integrated with G-AI; a) AI-assisted learning, b) Students evaluating AIgenerated solutions, c) Research-based learning with AI, and d) Open-ended project-basedlearning. Implementation of these strategies in electrical and robotics engineering technologycourses such as circuits analysis, signal processing, and robotics systems is explored. Thesecourses often require assignments that involve theoretical analysis and coding, solutions forwhich can easily be generated with AI. Therefore, employing these strategies in these courses ismore important to effectively address plagiarism and enhance learning. An analysis comparinggrade point average scores showed that student

After the castparts were de-molded and cooled, the students checked part surfaces for shrinkage.
