AB  - This paper shares a sample project illustrating a new teaching approach via innovation. One of the objectives of the Experiential Engineering Education and this paper is to reform engineering education by moving away from the boundaries of traditional classroom-based approaches to project-based approaches using real world situations. This new teaching approach can improve the effectiveness of engineering education. We hope that the benefits of this teaching approach shown using this sample project-based learning could serve as a model for other educators.

Currently, the medical field evaluates mobility by medical professionals and self-examinations. Any process done by humans may be prone to error and biases, including these tests of mobility. Many medical processes have been digitized to provide accurate and consistent data about a person’s well-being. These sorts of advancements ensure people receive proper care for the condition they are experiencing. Monitoring mobility activity using body-worn sensors provides an effective alternative to medical examinations since other self-measured evaluations tend to be vague and inaccurate. 

We aim to digitize mobility evaluation by 3-axis accelerometers and electromyography sensors. When placed in the body, these sensor signals can be used for different activities such as walking, climbing stairs, and running; this feature is vital for the effectiveness of our data since it will give information according to the performance of an activity. This mobility evaluator offers a system that can recognize the activities carried out by an individual to monitor physical activity and therefore increase the objectivity of a patient’s medical record. Combining EMG and accelerometer sensors in a single device provides all of the information needed to appropriately examine muscle activity. This paper will discuss the details of this human activity monitoring technology.
