The purpose of the Design Analysis Tool Lab was to allow the students to utilize a MATLAB based design analysis tool to analyze the raw data gained from the operation of the Advance Energy Vehicle (AEV). This lab introduced students to data analysis software to understand the process of recording, uploading, and analyzing raw AEV test run values to further enhance the efficiency of their vehicle. The students first downloaded and installed the “AEV Analysis” MATLAB application from the Ohio State Engineering website. A provided MATLAB file of Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) data collected during a sample AEV test run was then opened within the app and the software generated two graphs, displayed the Arduino code used during the run, and converted the EEPROM values to physical parameters. These outputs were individually examined by the members of the group and individual conclusions concerning the data’s meaning were drawn. Through this lab, the students were able to upload the AEV Arduino data into the design analysis tool, allowing them to conduct performance analysis on their AEV in a faster and more systematic fashion. This knowledge is important because the repetitive process of programming and manually calculating for AV analysis could be time-consuming, and the design analysis tool is a more efficient alternative for the purpose in terms of accuracy and time consumed. See executive summaries below for more details of the lab.
