CarolinaUniversity has initiated and effort by providing partnership with industry to better prepare theirgraduate students to face challenges of growing technical fields7. Keating et al. in a series of fourpapers formulated a framework for professional studies that promotes “the continuousdevelopment of the U.S. engineering workforce in industry concurrently with engineeringpractice for technological innovation”1,8,9. In addition, several institutions offer studentsindividualized interdisciplinary graduate program that allows students to tailor their courses frommore than one department to meet their needs.Existing Programs in the CoTThe CoT has the following Masters degrees: Master of Technology in Network Communications,Master of Technology in

In the previous publications, the authors have alreadyprovided the details on the developed MS Degree in Mechatronics and therefore the main focusof this article will be on the Graduate Certificate in Mechatronics and its unique structure.IntroductionThis paper describes the establishment of a Master ofScience in Mechatronics at Michigan Tech.Mechatronics is the synergistic integration ofelectrical and mechanical engineering, robotics,computational hardware and software in the design ofproducts and processes. Mechatronics is an essentialfoundation for the expected growth in automation andmanufacturing.

The sets ofcore courses, however, are not uniform, though they most often includethermodynamics, transport phenomena in some form, applied mathematics andkinetics/reaction engineering. A wider survey was taken to establish to what extentthere is consensus among U.S. universities as to the content of a “core” of courses forgraduate degrees in chemical engineering.Proceedings of the 2002 American

Each student developedthe same hardware setup at their home to allow each to experience both master and standbyoperator roles. For reduced latency and faster response time, the joystick should be connected tothe ESP32. The Arduino Mega is to perform the low-level servo motor control. As the MQTTserver only outputs string data types, programmable code is relied on to develop strings and datatype conversions adequately between the ESP32 and the Arduino Mega.

2016, a new interdisciplinary Energy Science and Engineering master anddoctoral graduate major degree program called the “energy course” was created withapproximately 140 faculty from 6 departments and approximately 100 students. To graduatefrom the master or doctoral energy course, students must complete energy theory, discipline-based and career oriented coursework, and prepare a research-based thesis. In this paper, bothenergy programs will be introduced, discussed and summarized based upon a best practices pointof view.Energy EducationEnergy and in particular renewable energy education and degree programs in higher educationhave been growing over the last two decades with the green economy1.

Our results were similar to those of Burton, Parker, andLeBold, who found that the major motivation for the pursuit of additional training in 1995 was toimprove one’s skills. They also found that engineers are becoming increasingly involved inmanagement tasks [3].

Faculty members teaching the technical skills courses are not required to have advanced degrees but are expected to be artisans or masters of their crafts. However, they should represent only a small fraction of the total engineering technology faculty.The result of these confusion factors there exists a lack of clarity in the hiring of tenure trackfaculty in engineering technology. This lack of complete understanding leads to barriers tocollaboration between programs across institution and even to negative feelings ofsuperior/inferior status.The purpose of this paper is to provide context and quantifiable evidence from Carnegie

This is the first case of automated tool changing which this work extends into a vehicularplatform for utilization such as seen in compact tractors and skid steers. Furthermore, the latestadvance in tool changer technology has led to Robotic tool Changers (RTCs).Robotic arm platforms, also known as articulated arms, utilize RTCs for manipulator change-outs andhave been specifically designed for autonomous applications. RTCs typically utilize a master and toolplate mating system5. An example master plate, as seen in Figure 1, is mounted to the end of therobotic arm, houses
