, the synthesis lecture has been being carried out in 3rd and 4th years of the undergraduate program. In order to provide an active synthetic learning opportunity, self-learning environment is of great importance rather than just teachingbased classes. Project themes, therefore, are provided for each team in our laboratory, which belongs to the authors. In this report, the designing and manufacturing activity using small-sized electric vehicles is described. As well as the design, the manufacturing aspect is also considered to be of great importance for mechanical engineers. As a capstone learning course, two teams in our laboratory tried to design and manufacture. One is a handmade small-sized electric automobile, and the other a handmade electric motorcycle. Te former is suitably gentle for elderly drivers, and is the revised one from the vehicle made last year.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
