emphasizing why tackling this issue is of utmost importance © American Society for Engineering Education, 2021 2021 ASEE Midwest Section ConferenceWith more and more farmlands being used to build industrial infrastructures, production of foodis lower causing supply of food to not meet the demand and eventually raising food prices. In orderto come up with a solution to tackle the food scarcity and increase the production, numerous stepshave been taken. One of the ways could be to come up with an innovative irrigation system thatwill help produce more plants if ideal conditions for plant growth is achieved. Automating theirrigation system will make sure soil moisture, temperature and light

, society, andeconomy, sustainability has emerged and is gathering the attention of developed and developingworld communities. At the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development (Johannesburg),world leaders reaffirmed the principles of sustainable development1 adopted at the Earth Summitten years earlier. One outcome was the Millennium Development Goals, an ambitious agenda forreducing poverty and improving lives based on what world leaders agreed upon at theMillennium Summit in September 2000. For each goal one or more targets have been set, mostfor 2015, using 1990 as a benchmark. For example, target 10 of Goal 7 of the MillenniumDevelopment Goals aims to reduce by half the proportion of people without access to safedrinking water by 2015. This

Importance of Laboratory Examination in Introductory Engineering Courses Maria Javaid, Edith Wittenmyer Indiana State UniversityAbstractLaboratory experiments are an integral part of most of the undergraduate courses. Theexperiments in the laboratory are often performed by group of students and this component ofcourse is evaluated through lab report submissions of students for individual experiments.However, evaluation of individual student learning of practical skills through higher stakelaboratory examination is not a common practice.This paper presents the results of the evaluation of individual student performance on practicaltechnical skills taught
Double-sided Silicon Wafer Surface Protection Method for PhotolithographyProcess.Rebecca Horak, Olabode Ajayi, Puteri Megat-Hamari, Bhushan DharmadhikarAbstract:The photolithography process of a double-sided polished (DSP) wafer has always been achallenging task. This work is to investigate an efficient method of DSP surface preparation toprotect it from damage during the photoresist spinning, soft and hard bake, and etchingprocesses. Specifically, during the photoresist spinning, suction from the chuck of the photoresistspinner which holds the DSP in position often damages the reverse side of the polished surface.If the surface and pattern feature on the reverse side is not preserved correctly, it always leads tograssing and other
