Theythen write short programs to flash the LEDs in sequence.For the remaining two weeks the students are divided into groups as described above. Thestudent(s) responsible for chassis development design the basic components needed to mount thedrive motors, wheels, sensors, and microcontroller. They then integrate them into a prototypechassis design, which is then fabricated. If necessary, the process is iterated.The student(s) responsible for software development perform two additional laboratoryexercises. In the first, they are given prewritten code to poll the rangefinder sensors. They usethis to calibrate the

the ‘autosave’ feature.The LabArchives development team implemented this feature into the ELN on request. At theend of the semester both the students and the faculty were surveyed. All surveys wereanonymous and consent to use the anonymous data was obtained for IRB approval. Since themajority of the students used paper notebooks either in their freshman design course, perviousBME design course(s), and/or during their employment (i.e. internship or co-op) they couldmake a direct comparison. They were asked to rate a number of criteria, on a scale of 1-3 (where1 is poorly, 2 is moderately, and 3 is very), related to logistics and the engineering outcomesused to grade the notebooks for both paper and electronic notebooks.

with prior post-secondary experience, about half hadattended a four-year school. Some combination of work, family or geography made attendingtraditional classes at an institution offering an undergraduate mechanical engineering degreeunfeasible. The potential career benefits of an engineering degree tended to be the primarymotivator for participating in the distance program at UND. The school was chosen primarilydue to both its reputation and the fact that there are few, if any, other accredited undergraduatedistance mechanical engineering degree programs.References [1] Ibrahim, W. and R.
