several reasons.Experiential learning allows students to apply theoretical knowledge gained in classrooms toreal-world scenarios. It bridges the gap between theory and practice, providing a more holisticunderstanding of electrical engineering concepts. Electrical engineering involves practical skillssuch as circuit design, troubleshooting, and equipment operation. Experiential learning providesstudents with hands-on opportunities to develop these skills, making them better prepared for thechallenges they may face in their careers. Real-world projects and experiments often presentunexpected challenges. Experiential learning encourages students to develop problem-solvingabilities by requiring them to troubleshoot and find solutions on the spot

We present ourfirst endeavor in the latter activity, introducing RP into our freshman Mechanical EngineeringComputer-aided Design (CAD) class, ME 180.ApproachThis initial introduction of RP into ME 180 was to accomplish several objectives: 1. Motivate students to stay engaged in the mechanical engineering curriculum. 2. Give students knowledge of advanced computing techniques. 3. Give students an experience of product realization in their first year of engineering. 4. Give students a simple but practical example of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing.The last three objectives were part of the learning objectives for the course, and are not theprimary topic of this paper.

The cost of such network of sensors deployed to perform some collaborative monitoring tasks over a given area is very expensive. Significant cost of each sensor can be reduced by designing a low cost acoustic modem with the same capabilities as an expensive one. In this project, we implemented two modems communicating with each other in free air within human hearing frequency ranges (20Hz – 20kHz) using off-the-shelf components and Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) modulation.
