1. ENGR 101 – Fall 2009 Taught by John Harrison

2. ENGR 101 – Phase I Me Motor: students designed and built a project of their choice that involved at least a motor and battery  introduction to circuits, simple mechanics, building, presentation skills Us Arduino: students worked in pairs to design, build, and program a project involving a microcontroller, LEDs, and motors  introduction to microcontrollers, programming, and working in teams They Censor: students chose a project to build that included sensors (ultrasonic, infrared, light, etc.)  incorporation of sensors into work, public demonstration of projects What is it like to be an engineering student?

3. Class project – The Red Baron: Students worked in 9 teams of 2-4 students to design and build a part of the car conversion or oil filtering system Students explored team work, interdisciplinary design, and project management Students experienced the problem-solving process while having an actual product as an end goal ENGR 101 – Phase II What is it like to be an engineer?

4. The website:  Throughout the semester, the students presented and organized their work via the class website  This publicly-accessible website allowed students to upload pictures, videos, tables, files, and more  The social-networking aspects of the site allowed students to easily contact each other, the instructors, their managing engineers, and other artists and technicians that use the site for their work Managing engineers:  Each group in the final project was assigned a managing engineer (faculty member, upperclassman, or professional) to help guide their design and project management ENGR 101 – Logistics How was this all managed?
