    The Indiana University-Purdue University, Indianapolis Jaguar team is participating in the 2015 SAE Clean Snowmobile Challenge (CSC) with the aim of achieving a low-cost snowmobile that weigh less than 200 kg (441 lb). It was re-engineered to be an environmental friendly snowmobile without forgetting to improve the towing capability and less noise. We are using the Phantom Snowmobile PD250LT that is manufactured by FMC Motor Company and sold through out North America. The modified NetGain WarP 7 DC-series motor is connected directly to the sprocket shaft using a Goodyear Synchronous Belt. The belt itself is very quiet and can produce less than 59 dB.

    Enhancing Course Objectives for a Sophomore Electronic Devices Class via Peer-Led Team Learning (PLTL) Model and Attached Projects
    (IEEE, 2019-10) Shayesteh, Seemein; Cochran, Zachary; Dhavalikar, Raj; Huelsman, Ian; Madan, Akul; Peters, Taylor; Yago, Ahmed; Wible, Grant; Rizkalla, Maher; Electrical and Computer Engineering, School of Engineering and Technology
    This Full Innovative Practice paper presents a new Peer-Led team Learning (PLTL) recitation model for the sophomore Electronics Analysis and Design course, emphasizing device physics, device models, and analog and digital applications in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at IUPUI. This new PLTL model with small number of students assigned to one peer-leader has enabled students to cooperate with each other and build teamwork, to get more practice with course software, and to better understand the course design component. This new model has overall improved the students' performance in the course. The new model has also enabled the instructor to introduce students to some research topics which led to students being encouraged to enroll in higher level related courses and to pursue further research in these areas. This paper details the structure of this new model, the feedback from students, the PLTL model recitation guidelines for the course semester, and attached projects. The paper also assesses the course objectives using this new model as compared to previous offerings.
