is engineering design education with a focus on developing prototyping skills through both class-based projects and extra-curricular clubs, competitions, and activities. This includes a focus on hand-drawn sketches and how they are used as tools for generating ideas and visual communication, es- pecially when it involves the skill to generate quick and realistic sketches of an object or idea. He has also conducted research on the impact involvement in academic makerspaces has on students in engineering programs.

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Holistic Engineering: A Concept Exploration in a Cross- Disciplinary Project Course ExperienceAbstractHolistic engineering is an approach to the engineering profession, rather than an engineeringdiscipline such as civil, electrical, or mechanical engineering. It is inspired by the realization thattraditional engineering does not adequately harness professional skills in its problem-solvingrepertoire. Holistic engineering asks engineers to look outward, beyond the fields of math andscience, in search of solutions to entire problems. While engineering graduates are well preparedin the technical aspects of the engineering

Another added advantage of the system is that the parents will receive an alert if theinfant is not well so that they can provide appropriate medical attention, as opposed to thetraditional way of finding out that the infant is really sick only when checking on the infant.This report talks about the design of a real-time infant monitoring system which is a capstonedesign project experience for a graduate student. The system mentioned in this paper uses amicrocontroller, several biomedical sensors for sensing vital physiological data from the humanbody and sending them to a microcontroller such as MSP432 for processing and a wirelessmodule such as ESP8266 that will inform the parents via an email so they can

In the project, students mathematically modeled the thermal dynamics of a glass incubatorand its heat source. Based on these models, they designed a lag compensator to keep the incuba-tor temperature in a safe range when the external temperature fluctuates. It is hypothesized thatactivities planned in this real-world project can facilitate the

In islanding mode, thecircuit should be able to isolate sections of the grid when the electrical grid experiences failure. In grid-connected mode, the microgrid has to supply and maintain the power balance to critical loads. Solarpanels act as one of the Distributed energy resource (DER
