COURSE INFO
CS 3651 teaches computer science students just enough electrical and mechanical engineering to be dangerous. Students learn how to interface computers with the real world by building computer controlled appliances that use sensors and actuators to interface with the physical world.
In the 2nd half of the course they form project teams that design, build, and document their appliance and the building process.

Final Projects
Final Project Websites and Burndown Charts [SCRUMM]
- Scaredy Bot [SCRUMM]
The "Scaredy-Bot" is a small robot built to detect any objects nearby. If anything gets too close it runs away! - Self Leveling Platform [SCRUMM]
Imagine being able to carelessly carry cups and bowls with a tray without worrying about spilling them; with the Self Leveling Platform, you can! Using the existing technologies of the gyroscope and accelerometer, the platform repositions itself using servo motors to prevent accidental falling of kitchenware. - BARDuino [SCRUMM]
The Barduino is an automated drink mixing machine. Drink recipes are loaded onto the microcontroller, and users select one using a panel of buttons. - Secret Knocks [SCRUMM]
We are building an automatic door lock that responds to a secret knock. It will be able to be "trained" (through a programming button feature) to listen for a specific knock pattern to unlock the door. - Automated Medication Dispenser [SCRUMM]
AMD is a medication alert and distribution system with adjustable distribution times. - Card Sorter [SCRUMM]
This project is designed to be able to sort large amounts of Magic The Gathering cards in a faster and more efficient method than a human.
