project management professional (PMP).Mr. Payton Ashby Staman, University of Indianapolis Payton studied Mechanical Engineering at the R.B. Annis School of Engineering at the University of In- dianapolis. Among the first class to graduate from the program, Payton has remained in the Indianapolis area, working for a local utility company, Citizens Energy Group. Working for Citizens as a mechan- ical engineer, he enjoys supporting the community while maintaining Indianapolis’s system for water, wastewater, gas, and thermal utilities. Payton is also a member of ASME.Mr. James T Emery II, University of Indianapolis James Emery is the Laboratory Manager for Mechanical Systems at the R.B. Annis School of Engineering at the

, demonstrate keystoneconcepts of electronics, including single stage amplifier design, multistage amplifier design,clipping, biasing, and variable parameter control. In addition, the implementation of theseamplifiers in a small package size (within a metal enclosure) provides an excellent avenue forexposing students to printed circuit board (PCB) layout and prototyping. One benefit of thesecircuits is that they can be used with an input device (guitar) and an output device (audio amplifier)and students can physically observe (and hear) the results of their design. One particular benefit ofthis approach is a greater understanding of frequency response characteristics, as students are ableto hear the results.In this work, several lab projects were

fields had their interest in STEM developed by robotics programs in their youth.Furthermore, recent participation in the Autonomous Division of the evGrandPrix competition hasdeveloped a deep interest in Mechatronics System Design by existing students.This paper details the development of a Mechatronics System Design course, intended to enhancethe existing curricular offerings in each of the accredited engineering disciplines. Literature onother mechatronics courses describes wide variations in course design and most lack enoughinformation to fully implement. This work will present, in brief, the details of each project, andthe projects created as a result of this work will be made publicly available for use by otherinstitutions. The assessment

limited database experience learn the structures(schema) and query languages of three major database systems, including MySQL (a relational,SQL-Structured Query Language, database), Neo4J (a graph database), and MongoDB (adocument/collection-oriented database). Our system also helps learners explore structural andquery language variations among different data models. Our system uses advanced databasetechniques, such as data integration and logical programming, to capture the core data operationscommon between the relational, graph and document-oriented data models, including selection(filtering data), projection (redefining the output schema), and grouping and aggregation.Abstracting the data operations and the schema design can help learners
