generally provides wide spread knowledge inproblem solving, management of resources, and process planning. Project Management is a keyskill required by Engineering Technologists, who work in project-driven manufacturingcompanies. Thus, it is imperative to prepare graduates of engineering technology programs toinclude a course on project management. An Industry Advisory Council for a university inLouisiana expressed the need for project management trained graduates, and worked with thedepartment faculty to develop a course on technical project management. The developed courseis offered as part of a new post-baccalaureate certificate program at the university.This paper discusses the development of a project management course tailored to

Ensuring that graduates continue to be well prepared forengineering technology careers within the constraints of reduced curricula requires betterlearning and more effective corresponding instruction. Lower than desired manufacturing andmechanical engineering technology retention rates juxtaposed against national calls forincreasing the number of engineers and other STEM professionals also point to a need forinstructional change.4. For these reasons, effective educational innovation must happen inengineering technology education. The strategic question of how to connect innovation inteaching with the creation of learning

Similar to that of a circus performer spinning three plates on sticks, it takes a tightlycoordinated planning effort and execution to ensure success – timing is everything. A similar case canbe made for the need for an inexpensive technology to accomplish the UAS/sensor integration. If anyof these requirements (time, money, personnel) in any category cannot be met, the project will likelynever commence and a valuable opportunity may be lost. Rapid

Afterthe truck control was initially tested by using the ultrasonic sensors only, autonomous control wasfurther tested in lab conditions by utilizing both the Pixy cam and ultrasonic sensorssimultaneously. So far, we have been able to repeatedly drive through a third of the courseautonomously. When the course is finished being outfitted with the color panels (swatches), it isexpected that the truck will move along the whole route autonomously, and it will be able torepeatedly run the whole course back and forth without collision.Based on the progress so far, the following plans are considered
