Integrated Technologies

VCE VET Integrated Technologies students produce a range of electronic components, including programmable logic devices, computer networking, sustainable energy, robots and maintenance of rechargeable battery banks. This work demonstrates a range of student’s capabilities, including originality, creativity and their ability to refine ideas with a client or audience in mind.

Realtime Measurement and Feedforward of Student Engagement in Classrooms

Laptop, webcam, Arduino Nano33, BLE sense, Raspberry Pi 4, ESP8266, NodeMCU, 1800RPM Mini Waterproof Vibration Motor, Wire, PCB Board, Polymer Lithium Ion Battery, 3.7V and 1.5V AA Batteries, Zener Diode, Ceramic Capacitor, Resistor Transistor     

In creating this work, I have tried to understand why throughout school I have sometimes been distracted or unengaged with lessons. This conundrum led me to the idea of designing and implementing a student engagement system to be utilised in any upper teaching situation. My work measures and tracks student engagement in real time in any classroom setting.

PyProvisioner is a solution for hardware control used with bare metal provisioning. Bare metal provisioning allows the automation of bare metal servers as if they were cloud resources, such as VMs and containers. This hardware control over servers is large, costly and power hungry. PyProvisioner addresses these issues and allows bare metal provisioning of any device at a low cost.
