This robot isremotely controlled with an RF device and has been designed to meet all of thespecifications and requirements of the combat robot event, as outlined in thecompetition manual. For Phase I of the design project, the team has researched pastevents and the contest manual to come up with the most important constraints anddesign decisions for the project. For Phase II, the team has proposed three preliminaryconceptual designs and has chosen which design to develop further, analyzing thestrengths and weaknesses of design alternatives. The next phase, Phase III includedfabrication, testing, and optimization of multiple subsystems, like the

to use several entrepreneurial mindset concepts withengineering design principles in order to come up with our new product calledGreenAuto. The idea behind this project was to create a system that receives a feed ofdata from people’s cars which will be turned into feedback to drivers so they can drivemore efficiently. In turn, this will allow them to save money on gas, drive more safely,and be more environmentally friendly. We were able to build on this by going throughthe customer discovery process. We conducted about 40 interviews with potentialcustomers. We created customer segments based off of these interviews anddeveloped a minimum viable product (MVP). We took everything we learned from thediscovery phase to in designing our product

Past work has shown that incorporating team-based design projects into first-year engineering courses is beneficial since it increases motivation and improves retention [1-3].In this work, a computer simulation is defined as a program that accepts inputs and performscalculations based on a mathematical model of a system with the intent of understanding thebehavior of said system [4-5]. In our freshman-level course, students used SolidWorks three-dimensional (3D) CAD software to simulate kinematic motion, structural integrity, fluid flowand heat transfer processes (conduction and convection).
