affect our daily lives, we want to create a solutionto the problem many students, teachers, and workers have been facing: having an uncomfortable,and inadequate in-home working environment. Our goal is to create an extendable desk that foldsdown to the size of a normal office desk when not in use but can also expand out to give the usermore room to work. We started our design process by interviewing different customer segmentsto understand the pains and gains of our customers and form requirements for our product. Thedesk should be able to be easily and quickly converted from folded, to extended, without causingthe user any issue. From customer interviews, we also found that people want the desk to includea standing option, so the user can

to act as fastas possible. In an emergency situation, a stationary law enforcement officer poses a riskto their own life, as well as the lives of others. Their response times are oftensignificantly slower due to the difficulty of accessing the proper equipment in theirvehicles. Our team of junior engineering students is providing a product that will aidpolice officers in organizing their gear in the rear of their vehicles to allow for quick andefficient access. We have interviewed a total of 38 individuals, including 25 lawenforcement officers from nine different police departments across Indiana, Michigan,and Kentucky. We used the data from the interviews to develop a set of productrequirements that has guided our design process. Our

to use several entrepreneurial mindset concepts withengineering design principles in order to come up with our new product calledGreenAuto. The idea behind this project was to create a system that receives a feed ofdata from people’s cars which will be turned into feedback to drivers so they can drivemore efficiently. In turn, this will allow them to save money on gas, drive more safely,and be more environmentally friendly. We were able to build on this by going throughthe customer discovery process. We conducted about 40 interviews with potentialcustomers. We created customer segments based off of these interviews anddeveloped a minimum viable product (MVP). We took everything we learned from thediscovery phase to in designing our product

sessionswith the original class time; and the author offered an asynchronous session for 20% of thestudents.During the semester, we designed a centralized learning manage system for the asynchronoussession. One key ingredient is to create a centralized access point for students to easily access allcourse materials, which include the course announcements, lecture notes and handouts, topicoutlines, embedded lecture recordings, and quizzes, etc. We will discuss the methods to make thelecture recordings more effective. Another effort is placed on promoting student participation toget the timely feedback and dynamically adjust the teaching materials. Since interactive teachingand classroom discussion are not possible in this semester, we utilized the

, increased concentration during lectures, and promote socialrelationships. While humor is not an end-all tool in teaching, it can be a valuableinclusion to promote a healthy learning environment.However, when used improperly humor can be detrimental, both to retention of materialand mental health. Understanding and acknowledging that students' life experiences,social background and/or cultural history can vary from those of the instructor can helpensure that attempts of humor are not degrading, offensive or excessive.This poster explores both the positive and negative effects of humor in the collegiateclassroom. This work investigates these concepts by first exploring prior studies inwhich undergraduate students shared their preferences of humor. To

Automation) core unit, studentsdeveloped a robotic testing setup to provide credentialed inputs and capture outputs for twomodels of locks. Mechanically, the system will accommodate 4 locks, two each of the NDE™and LE™ locks, with the potential to scale to other Allegion products as needed. In Phase I ofthe project, students met with Allegion to identify their needs. These needs were translated intoengineering requirements, from which three design alternatives were generated in Phase II. InPhase III students began to prototype the automatic lock testing system, and run preliminary testsfor functionality. In the final phase, Phase IV, final tests were conducted to validate the designbefore sending to the client for use. In addition to the physical
