Proposal

Narrative

EE96-205 Engineering Inventory: Sensor, Microcontroller, Robotics The College of Engineering is committed to providing our faculty and students with as many technological skills as possible. Not only will this boost the students’ confidence, it will expose them to the type of equipment they will be expected to operate beyond the classroom. This proposal will provide the faculty with the necessary equipment to better prepare the students while simultaneously positioning the students for success in their chosen field(s). Additionally, this equipment is needed to maintain FAU’s ABET accreditation which takes into account equipment relevance. Specifically, we are developing an inventory of parts. This will enable the students to check-out the needed items and pursue the momentum of “research and development” (R&D) and exploration that would be diminished or lost by having to wait days before their part(s) arrive. This will keep the students engaged in their field and propel them forward. We have supported hundreds of Student Projects with the 2015 Funding. The items include: Sensors: The interface between the human world and computers; Microcontroller: Small computers to control and interpret the world around us. Robotics parts: Assorted components to build, modify and/or repair robotic devices These parts would benefit hundreds of students weekly. The classes / projects that will most benefit from the Available Parts include: EGN 1002 - Fundamentals of Engineering EEL 3118+4119 Electronics Laboratory 1+2 EEL 4220 Electrical Machines EEL 4652 Control Systems 1 EEE 3300 +4361 Electronics 1+2 CDA 3201 Introduction to Logic Design CDA 3331 Intro Microprocessor Systems CDA 4630 Intro to Embedded System Design EGM 4045 Electro-Mechanical Devices EGN 4950+4952 Engineering Design 1+2 EML 4500+4262 Machine Design 1+2 Thank You.

Sustainability

Most items will be provided as parts for student projects. The previous Tech Fee funding provided for hundreds of student projects in the College and across the campuses. The College of Engineering Senior Design Projects, the WAVE projects nad student personal projects. The Architecture College students received parts and technical support for making an active sculpture for the CEECS Electronics Lab.
