executingtheir capstone project are unable to fully realize the breadth of the “situation” particularly in thedesign and deployment of robotic and automation designs. Often it is impractical forengineering students to create a real-world equivalent problem to address full breadth thatimplementing a robotic system for automation requires. To address this challenge, a relationshipbetween Boys Republic and Cal Poly Pomona was established which benefit both Cal PolyPomona engineering students while providing a solution for Boys Republic in the assembly ofChristmas wreaths.Cal Poly Pomona’s approach to its engineering curriculum, specifically the Department ofElectromechanical Engineering Technology, focuses on teaching engineering students therelationship

computer science students via a 10-minuteonline survey that included questions on search engines, technological optimism, and ethicseducation. Recruitment methods for the survey included flyers and in-person and emailcommunications with computer science faculty and staff who coordinate undergraduate,graduate, and online programs. We made announcements about the survey during libraryinstruction sessions in computer science and other programs. In the end, we found thatnewsletters and online course management systems also increased participation.The cross-institutional study between three institutions have distinctly different studentpopulations. The University of Southern California (USC) has a diverse student body in terms ofrace and gender. Women

In school settings, he looks to find ways in which schools might better prepare students to be more resourceful and flexible in fostering their own learning.Prof. Andre Knoesen Andre Knoesen received his Ph.D. degree from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, in 1987.
