Projects for engineering students give an edge over the race of recruitment to work hard to ensure a good
career. In spite of employment practices in recent times, students are progressively taking up projects to
pad up their skill-set. Engineering projects help students to learn and acquire practical knowledge. Despite
the theory concept they acquire, various industries also need to know their capacity to complete projects
using their specific initiatives. Thus, we recommend students to realize engineering projects in their four
years of engineering and try to present as many white papers as possible. Students who give importance to
their course projects are expected to learn how to:
•
Work in teams including multidisciplinary teams.
●
Build a major design experience based on the knowledge and skills acquired in the course work.
• Build a major design experience incorporates appropriate engineering standards and multiple
realistic constraints.
•
Apply both analysis and synthesis in the engineering design process, resulting in designs that meet
the desired needs.
In the design process, both creativity and criticism are essential. The followings are the seven steps that
students should consider while designing their projects:
•
Recognition of the need and identifying opportunities: Every project begins with recognition that
needs improvement. These needs may be obvious or hidden to be revealed by investigation,
surveys or research.
• Definition of the design problem: It is a major task requires gathering information about the
problem.
•
•
•
Definition of the design criteria and constraints: While the problem is being defined, the design
criteria and constraints must be defined.
a. Design criteria are performance standards to be met by the design.
b. Design constraints are limitations placed on the designer, the final design or manufacturing
process. Examples of possible constraints include accessibility, aesthetics, codes,
constructability, cost, ergonomics, extensibility, functionality, interoperability, legal
considerations, maintainability, manufacturability, marketability, policy, regulations, schedule,
standards, sustainability, or usability.
C.
Risk analysis
The design loop: design is a repetitive process of:
a. Synthesis (Brainstorming - Generating new ideas)
b. Analysis (Breaking ideas – find expected results)
c.
Decision-making (Deciding the best alternative)
Optimization: Design team must ask themselves if it is the optimum design. Optimum is the best
design that can be achieved at reasonable cost. The proposed design is judged against the design
criteria.
Evaluation: Design team should hold a design review to approve drawings and specifications before
they are released. If an optimum design cannot be achieved, the design team might revise the
problem definition, the design criteria, or the constraints in order to achieve the optimal solution
or prototype. 2. Project Description
The Hall Effect Switch employs a Hall Effect sensor, a device that can alter its output voltage in response to
applying a magnetic field. The Hall Effect Sensor, when combined with a proper circuitry, turns the circuit
on and off based on changes in the magnetic field. Hall switches, well-known for their precision and
accuracy, and can even be programmed to activate the button at specific magnetic fields, making it another
good choice for elevator applications.
This project requires students to construct an elevator system with three different levels using a Hall Effect
sensor/s, Arduino Uno, keypad, DC Motor, LCD module, LEDs and whatever discrete components needed to
achieve the functionality of the project. The separation distance between the levels is specified based on
your section number as per Table 1 below. The keypad will be used to enter the number of the required
level and based on the current location of the elevator, which will be determined using the Hall Effect
sensor/s, the Arduino should control the operation of the DC motor to move the elevator car up/down,
each group is required to operate its elevator using a different voltage supply as per Table 2 below. In
addition, Arduino will depend on the Hall Effect sensor/s to detect the reached level and decide whether to
keep moving or to stop once the required level is reached.
The LCD Module will be used to display the start level of the elevator car when stationary, the destination
level needed, and the current level when in motion. A Red LED will be used to indicate the movement of
the elevator car, and a green LED will be used to indicate that the required level is reached and the elevator
car is now stationary.

Finally, students are required to discuss how the following standards apply to their prototype:
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
IEC 61000-4
Ingress Protection (IP) Ratings
IEC 60529
3. ABET Learning Outcome
A student who successfully fulfills the course project requirements will have:
a) Develop and apply engineering design processes to meet the requirements of engineering
standards taking into consideration the impactful constraints of global, economic, environmental,
societal, health, safety, and welfare factors. [SO2, SO4]
b) Work within a team, apply new knowledge, enhance hands-on experience, draw conclusions, and
communicate results through the offered course project. [SO2, SO3, SO5, SO7]
*[S02] An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with
consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and
economic factors.
*[S03] An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
*[S04] An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make
informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic,
environmental, and societal contexts.
*[S05] An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a
collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
*[S07] An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

Students may be asked to work in groups to complete certain assignments. Depending on the needs of the
course, the faculty may arrange the groups and inform students on Moodle in advance.
