Abstract: As part of a practicum course, students were required to perform a three-week product design based on myRIO. The wide-open design space was a new experience for most. Teams created a variety of projects including a vision targeting Nerf turret gun, a motion-activated music synthesizer, an accelerometer-controlled labyrinth game, an automated drink-mixing system, and a light- and motion-controlled mini blind. The approach proved effective in getting students motivated to create new products and push their own limits. Results at the end of the cycle exceeded all expectations.
