computer-based imaging or imageprocessing aspects were used on as-needed basis for senior capstone projects.With the approval of the curriculum committee, an undergraduate course with thetitle “Applied Computer Vision for Sensing and Automation” was approved to beoffered as an experimental course at 4xxx (senior) level. The course was designedas a three-credit hour course in a sixteen–week semester based system. Thecourse consisted of two lecture classes (each for 50 minutes) and one two-hourlaboratory component. This course initially required prior experience withcomputer programming and prerequisite of a sophomore level mathematics class.This course was offered as a technical elective.This course was initially offered in Fall 2014.

With substantial help and guidance from auniversity center dedicated to curriculum design, a full analysis of the proposed BSET program’slearning goals, outcomes, and proficiencies was completed and mapped to the proposed coursesusing UCAT’s curriculum design process. A signature part of the BSET degree is thedevelopment of an integrated set of courses that combines applied physics, math and engineeringwhich will be developed in the near future for delivery in Autumn 2020.The proposed BSET is designed to meet the program educational outcomes for accreditationby ABET from the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission

Opening a dialog with the ACC, Registrar’s Office, and Provost’s Office early and workingwith them to find the places where there was flexibility in the system allowed us to stay on trackand maintain the President’s goal of having engineering graduates in spring 2016.The final important part of the curricular planning and implementation was to support the peoplewho had to do the work of the full curriculum development to allow us to teach the courses

This paper presents the details on the developmentof an integrated senior design and internship program that has helped to mitigate the difficult-to-fill workforce needs for the partnering industry in metrology and advanced manufacturingthrough the university and industry partnership. Many more programs of this nature are requiredto address the problem of the skills gap prevailing in the advanced manufacturing sector.The senior design project and internship are integrated with the engineering technologycurriculum to address this challenging problem

key questionis whether the SMEs are ready for this change to take place?The fourth industrial revolution provides an opportunity for innovation, growth, and competition;but there are risks for some organizations, as the roadmap to Industry 4.0 is filled with differentchallenges. According to a survey conducted by McKinsey, about 50% of the US Enterpriseshave made little or no progress towards the adoption of Industry 4.0 16. Companies are worriedabout their ability to integrate the new technology with the existing one, and about the long-termimpact these machines will have on their organization. One of the major implementation barriersnoted by many executives in the survey was lack of skilled professionals. The other alternativewas to partner

focus of the course should be expanded tocover the entirety of the rapid design and prototyping process. The emphasis on fabricationusing NC machine tools was maintained, however the course content was expanded to covershop-level metrology and the integrated use of CAD and CAM tools for rapid design andprototyping.A major feature of the revised course was the inclusion of a large, open-ended design andfabrication project. This project, which spanned the last five weeks of the course, was intendedto give students an opportunity to apply the entire rapid design and prototyping process to anoriginal product design. Students were presented with a scenario in which an entrepreneurhires them to design and prototype a single, hand-held device that

design functionality of the project's robot for detectingupcoming events in terms of encountering objects, platform openings, or extreme tilting in itspath that may cause harm if current trajectory is further continued. When such obstacles aredetected, the vehicle’s programming instructs it to cease movement, back-up as necessary, andoverride and disregard the user’s instruction that would point it toward harm’s way. Where adirected path is deemed hospitable, the vehicle follows the preprogramed instructionunconditionally. The vehicle utilizes a Parallax Boe-Bot kit[1] chassis while the information processing andmovement program is run through an Arduino Mega board; these separate components are joinedvia a fiberglass platform which also
