By helpingstudents make connections between Mathematics and Engineering subjects and real-worldissues, these strategies are likely to enhance student interest in Engineering and Technologydisciplines, improve

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

Component Design The biggest design challenge encountered was the task of fitting all of the componentsinto the case while still making the case portable and ergonomic. The initial design the teamcame up with involved having the DIN rails mounted to the case, this was to be done by the casemanufacturer. There were some complications implementing this design with the manufacture sothe team had to design another plan. The next plan was to mount the DIN rails to panel, whichwould be offset and mounted with a threaded rod. This design was found to be less efficient thanthe final design, in which a 1” standoff was used to mount the DIN rails directly to the undersideof the panel. This can be seen in figure 2.
