Overall, many different fields of engineering can benefitfrom this application, enabling the development of skill and knowledge in many differentengineering aspects and processes. As this capstone design project provides opportunities forstudents to design & manufacture, it stimulates the students’ interest in real-world productrealization. As manufacturing laboratories are very expensive to develop, this project can also beadapted at other institutions that have limited funding to improve manufacturing processfacilities.Background In Drexel University’s School of Technology and Professional Studies, many courses relatedto robotics, design, and materials are offered to the

Some teams did, but in the end, most of the discussions were ad-hoc (e.g. discussion with people around you). • The result of the first vote was always hidden from students before they entered into discussion. There did not seem to be a lack of interest in discussing the topic further without seeing the original results and it avoided students voting for the most popular answer when asked the second time. • The correct answer was not indicated on the slide after
