closeproximity, the touch sensors detected physical contact and the actuators propel the robot. Theactuators were controlled by the microcontroller and were coded to move at a specific speed. Thepower supply was a 2200mAh battery that powered the microcontroller, actuators and thesensors. The microcontroller acted as the brain of the unit and received signals from the differentcomponents. and reacted according to how the students coded.The success of these two projects along with other team projects emphasized the importance ofthe interdisciplinary knowledge being taught to freshmen engineering majors.Figure 1 (a) Infrared sensor attached to an actuator to rotate a cube; (b) EV3 Mindstorms Brick (Controller) Figure 2 The

ABET PEV believed that the assessments of technical outcomes1, 2, 3, 5, and 11 (3 a, b, c, e and k) were insufficient. The major difficulty was the absence ofdata for the four core courses that had not collected data. In addition, since one of the twooptions (IDE 485) for a major design experience course had not been taught yet, there was nodata for this course.For the due process response the instructors collected direct assessment data on outcomes 1, 5and 11 for the MDE students in the four core courses. For the fluids core course that had anassociated lab, the instructor provided individually tracked direct assessment data on outcome 2.We also collected individually tracked data for IDE 485, which included significant directassessment
students that leave the project dueto loss of interest.Student Perspectives:Currently there are two active structural engineering undergraduate students on the project (SEStudent 1 & 2). Each student was interviewed for their perspective on the project, and how itprovides a unique experience in their engineering development. A third student (SE Student 3)who had been on the project and moved onto other unrelated research activities with the SEFaculty, was also interviewed. The student interview questions for the SE students is inAppendix B; these questions were modified into an emailed survey form with five-point Likertscale and free response questions for the two undergraduate CS students currently on the project.The following section of the

The meeting will be a group discussion format in which there will be a time todiscuss aspects that are working well and problems that have emerged. The group will take timeto brainstorm how the challenges can be overcome, when necessary. This information will begiven back to other groups when appropriate, such that a closed-loop feedback system isestablished.(b) Indirect Assessment-Subjective QuestionnairesQuestionnaires specific to the mentor/mentored group will be developed.

(B) We seek to provide an immersive clinical experience. UIC is uniquely situated for its ability to provide a strong and meaningful clinical immersion experience. First-hand exposure to clinical environments provides a holistic view that will help students understand the broader impact that design can have on improved interactions, experiences, devices and ultimately medical outcomes. And it is only through this deep knowledge of the environment that they can frame (or re-frame) complex design problems to approach and solve

A: Throughout my design process, I feel like I may have spent too much time in my research phase. I think that I could have spent a lot more time trying to be creative with my solution. I also feel as though I could have spent more time trying to relate my problem solution to Thermodynamics and use more equations and formulas to backup my knowledge. Q: What is your Action Plan for continuous improvement? A: Next time I take the CIOPS exam, I plan to monitor my learning. I would like to keep track of how much time I am

second week of November, the teamscompete in a race in the parking lot adjacent to the engineering building. The parking lot isabout 300 feet long and has an elevation gain of about 10 feet.Each team is required to analyze and predict the vehicle’s velocity profile. The prediction mustbe compared to the data collected by the vehicle’s microprocessor and electrical subsystems.Several constraints are specified for the design effort. The vehicle has to be a) untethered; b)powered by a specified solar panel; c) fabricated at the College with the help of the Collegemachinist; and d) must to cost less than $300. The effort has to result in a working prototype, aperformance prediction, and a system to collect vehicle performance data. Each team is
