IDE project-based learning

Back to IDE Course Overview

Woven throughout the Integrated Design Engineering degree, students have the opportunity to take hands-on, 以设计为基础的传统课程，通过各个学院的工程部门提供. Both versions of these courses cover the same material, but IDE versions are taught by our faculty and include hands-on design, where students get to put theory into practice and learn by doing.

Here are a few examples of student projects from our IDE classes.

GEEN 1400: First Year Engineering Projects

Mountable Wind Turbine

Fall 2021

博彩平台推荐的团队设计博彩平台推荐的产品是为了小规模地捕捉风能.

Our team designed and built a mountable, portable turbine that can be placed anywhere using a magnet system. The majority of the turbine is made with 3D printed material, and circuitry runs along the inside to the bottom, where there is a compartment. 在舱室中，可以放置一个便携式电池，然后由涡轮机充电. The product performed extremely well and was met with positive feedback.

Climbing Hand Holds for Visually Impaired Climbers

Fall 2022

博彩平台推荐的目标是通过灯光让视力受损的攀岩者更容易进入室内攀岩, user controlled hand holds.

The goal of this project was to increase equitable access to climbing. Many people suffer from visual impairment, including color blindness, low vision, and light/dark perception only. 室内攀岩馆尤其难以进入，因为相似颜色的攀岩台经常相邻放置，而且许多地方光线很差. Furthermore, current products that could act as potential solutions are costly, difficult to implement, and do not have a focus on increasing access to climbing. Therefore, 这个项目试图创造一个解决方案，室内攀岩馆将兴奋地采用，也以视障登山者的反馈为中心.

To meet this goal, our team integrated LEDs into clear climbing holds. 然后，用户可以通过一个简单的应用程序控制把手的亮度和颜色. The climbing holds are linked by which route they belong to, allowing the user to change the appearance of many holds at once. 用户可以将攀爬手柄设置为易于识别的颜色，并在较暗的区域增加亮度. 这些把手可以在现有的攀岩墙上使用，与常规把手互换. Furthermore, 成本估算显示，博彩平台推荐的产品在规模上比现有的替代品要便宜得多.

The Paint Train

Spring 2022

博彩平台推荐开发了一种艺术旋转器，它可以被行动不便或残疾的人用来创造独一无二的艺术作品.

博彩平台推荐的项目包括设计一个油漆分配器，将连接到现有的艺术旋转器. 与博彩平台推荐合作的客户是Imagine Colorado，他们为残疾人和行动不便的人提供服务. 博彩平台推荐建造了一个3d打印的“车厢”，里面有一个凸轮旋转并向下推动油漆管来分配油漆. 3d打印的车厢被放置在一条轨道上，这条轨道允许机器在保持支撑和安全的情况下滑动. Due to the extensive testing and iterations that were conducted, 这个最终的设计提供了一个可靠的安全的方式来分配油漆，并允许那些使用博彩平台推荐的产品快速，轻松地更换油漆管.

Dr. Delivery

Fall 2021

博彩平台推荐的产品旨在提醒用户在适当的时间以正确的剂量服用药物, overall decreasing the risk of medication noncompliance.

博彩平台推荐的产品是一种自动药丸分配器，允许用户设置分配药物的时间表. Dr. 通过组织和储存多达四种不同的药物，递送减轻了服用药物的任务, securely locking access to medications, setting a schedule to dispense medications, and reminding the user to take their medications. When unlocked, the lid will reveal four separate compartments. Users can empty each medication type into a given compartment. 这些隔室可以以最低剂量储存每个处方一个月的剂量. Note the capacity may vary based on the pill’s size and frequency of dosage. Design considerations have been made for safety and aesthetics. The system is constructed of laser cut acrylic and beveled edges. A Raspberry Pi serves as the controller of motors, solenoids, 盖子具有锁定和解锁的能力，以防止不必要的篡改药丸. 用户可以使用触摸屏界面确认他们的药物和与之相关的时间表. 系统按适当的时间表分配药丸，并确认已分配正确的剂量. 药丸分配器这样做的重量秤，交叉参考已知重量的剂量与分配. If there is no discrepancy, the pill is made available to the user. 药丸分配器还会通过声音和光线通知用户他们的药物已经准备好了. If an appropriate period of time passes, and the weight scale indicates the medication has not been removed, additional notifications will be given to the user.

GEEN 3010: Circuits

Minesweeper IRL

Fall 2021

For this project we decided to build Minesweeper but with a twist. 博彩平台推荐的游戏不仅仅是电脑上的软件，而是这款经典游戏的实体版本.

For our circuits final project, we chose to recreate Minesweeper, the classic game that came pre-installed on most old Windows computers. In our physical version, 彩色数字被RGB led取代，RGB led根据打印在外壳顶部的键点亮按钮垫. 旗子是放置在玩家认为是炸弹的方块上的实体帽子, 而LCD屏幕则会显示场地上的炸弹数量和计时器，显示玩家已经玩了多长时间.

At the conclusion of the game, 屏幕显示“你赢了”或“游戏结束”取决于玩家是否成功地通过了雷区. 能够设计和构建一个印刷电路板，使博彩平台推荐所有的组件都能成功地协同工作，这表明博彩平台推荐能够将整个学期在课堂上学到的知识运用到实际应用中. And while constructing our game, 博彩平台推荐能够学习其他有用的技能，可以应用到未来的项目, such as coding, laser cutting, and PCB manufacturing.

GEEN3852: Thermodynamics

Compressed air powered jet engine

Fall 2022

博彩平台推荐被要求为博彩平台推荐在课堂上学过的一个周期建立一个物理模型.

Our team decided to use compressed air to run a model Brayton Cycle. 一旦博彩平台推荐确定了设计方案，博彩平台推荐就在SolidWorks中构建了外壳、压气机叶片和涡轮机. 从那里博彩平台推荐找到了硬件，博彩平台推荐需要将压缩空气连接到涡轮机上，并连接先导管来估计整个发动机各个点的总能量. 博彩平台推荐的项目成功地展示了喷气发动机背后的工作原理!
