It also aims for the students to work effectively in a team to solve challenging problemswithout clearly prescribed solutions.TopicsThe course covered the fundamental theories of autonomous navigation of ground mobile robotsthrough recitation sessions. The topic includes programming basics in Python and ROS, sensorsand actuators, locomotion, mobile robot kinematics, perception, vision, path planning, Proceedings of the 2022 Conference for Industry and Education Collaboration Copyright ©2022, American Society for Engineering Education

The proposal required modification ofexisting Bachelor of Science degree program in Organizational Leadership and Supervision toaccommodate transfer credits from AS degree to BS degree through selective courses in theprogram’s plan of study. All stakeholders were involved in the curriculum revision process andcreation of this pathway program. A formal articulation agreement was executed for a seamlesstransfer of credits from the ITCC courses taken by trade union professionals. This pathwayprogram is available for the following ten

Mastery of fundamental skillsis not emphasized. Some students may or may not have learned the required skills.

The reason forits abandonment was that the water flow would sometimes back up in the drainpipes with theresult of flooding in downstairs areas. The flooding in year 2020 was the last. This lab was sadlyabandoned after this third major flood over the years from the experiment [11]. A ¾ inch waterpipe can supply about 90 gallons of water per minute – a lot of water! This lab is shown above inFig. 6.In the WorksThere are still plans for future experiments that challenge the student and keep the instructoractively designing new labs.

Therefore, allowing students tonegotiate sections of the project can dynamically create value for the client, leading to a betterlearning experience than approaching capstone projects as static problems to be solved [6].Detailed project planning is required to minimize frustrations in undergraduate engineeringtechnology capstone courses. Mosher (2015) explains that project stakeholders must be flexibleand tolerate ambiguity. Also, students must have a voice in team and project selection [7].Viswanathan (2017) observed that a meticulous project plan and execution are ingredients forsuccessful capstone courses [8].

Allowing the student to experience a real-world application of their skills is a vital partof not only instilling confidence in the student, but also as a proof for the department in thevalidity of their curriculum.

While this activity is not the equivalent to an academic degree in philosophy, itdoes impart significant knowledge and a sense of confidence for teaching ethics.How to squeeze ethics into an already full ET curriculum is another important consideration, onethat requires planning and creativity to ensure that students achieve both technical and ethicslearning goals and meet ABET criterion 5E [13]. Shorter and less complicated cases obviouslyrequire less class time than larger cases, and both have advantages. Macroethical cases, thoseassociated with the profession or
