these projects will help other educators develop ROS-based simulation projects as part of a course or a stand-alone course for teaching robotics.IntroductionThe Robot Operating System (ROS) has gained wide currency for creating working robotic sys-tems, initially in the laboratory and then in industry. The primary programming environment forthose working on ROS includes C++, Python, or Java. MathWorks recently released its RoboticsSystems Toolbox and ROS Toolbox. Using MATLAB to interact with robotic simulators (suchas Gazebo) and physical ROS-compatible robots (such as TurtleBot) becomes a new option. Theexisting toolboxes in MATLAB enable the development and verification of robotic control algo-rithms more quickly. Though it is

VDCIntroductionThe construction management curriculum is a blend of courses requiring hands-on laboratories,software tools, theoretical lectures, and deeper learning on project management tools. Thesetools and techniques constantly upgrade with newer technologies, computing breakthroughs, andintensifications. The American Council for Construction Education (ACCE) establishes studentlearning outcomes (slos) to standardize construction education at 2-year, 4-year, and master'sdegree programs at different institutions. While ACCE focuses more on the core concepts andtheories through its accreditation requirements, it is essential to understand that technologicaladvancements have been pivotal in managing

In this offering format, a program isstill able to teach the material that is deemed necessary for students to learn before they graduate,but allows students to apply that knowledge in particular applications that are of the most interestto them. For example, suppose that a program wishes to teach students how to design laboratoryexperiments. The program could teach this in one particular laboratory course. Or the programcould offer two or three laboratory courses that focus on different particular subdisciplines in thefield, and teach students in each of these courses how to design experiments. By requiring thatstudents take at least one of these elective courses, the program guarantees that the students

The build or construction portion of the course isoffered in a one-credit laboratory format during the spring semester. Both semesters areconsidered “Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory” electives and do not affect the students’ GPA.
