Students created a working system-based model and communicate degrees ofuncertainty. The student requirements were to: 1. Develop an electronic schematic that represents your Chesapeake Bay system. a. For the known variables, provide references and ranges for reported values. b. Describe in a short paragraph for each variable and report the values and expected ranges (high, mean, and low values if available). c. For the unknown variables, define keywords for studies that might provide

system that cutsdown on food waste and allows for better organization of food. This concept implements a userinterface, a scanner, and a controlled motor to account for: (a) inventory, and (b) to automate thefood item retrieval process. V. Project SolutionThe concept behind the Smart Pantry system is to allow a user to scan-in purchased groceriesthrough a data system. This allows a user to develop an active inventory of what food is availablein the pantry. The data stored includes the product type, product name, the product’s expirationdate, and the location within the pantry that the item is stored. This information is made accessiblethrough a touchscreen interface on the unit itself as well as through a smartphone application thatis

The author plans to continue to use some variation on the musical bridge project forfuture solid mechanics courses. Questions, however, remain: did students find the musical aspectof the project more engaging or would another type of interdisciplinary project be just asengaging? Did the musical bridge project result is improved learning? Were students morecreative? Did their critical thinking skills improve? Future projects will attempt to explore thesequestions and more.ReferencesBarnard, S., Hassan, T., Bagilhole, B., Dainty. A. (2012

; therefore, students are not familiar with concept ofproportional control.Lab 4: ZigBee set up and manual testingThis lab is designed to familiarize students with ZigBee modules. Each team receives twoZigBee radios. Students learn to use the free software X-CTU to set up the radios for wirelesscommunication, as illustrated in Fig. 1. There are two settings to be used: One is two radiostalking exclusively to each other. In this case, the radios are configured such that the DestinationAddress High/Low (DH/DL) of one radio is the Serial Number High/Low (SH/SL) of the otherradio. The other setting is for one radio (coordinator) to communicate with multiple radios. Inthis case, the coordinator has 0 as DH and FFFF as DL, as shown in Fig. 1 (a, b).A

This rating system asked students to rate each of their teammates on seven traits:Helping, Listening, Participating, Persuading, Questioning, Respecting, and Sharing. Theseratings were based on a 4-point scale with 4 being the maximum and most positive rating. Thisteammate rubric is shown in Appendix B.

In this particular study, thedisciplines were housed in departments of architecture, construction science, civil engineering,electrical engineering, engineering technology and industrial distribution, and mechanicalengineering.
