Theline following routine initiates and the robot follows a predefined course into the room orlocation of the drink dispenser. Depending on the number(s) pressed by the user, up to threechoices of beverages falls into a holding compartment ready to be pushed into the robot cooler.Upon arrival at the dispensing station, the robot’s presence triggers a sensor circuitry whichactivates the pushing mechanism and the drink(s) drops into the robot. The robot turns aroundand follows the course back to the starting point where the user is awaiting his/her drink.Most of the project is constructed from components that were used in previous projects

If one subscribes to the abovedefinition, then every engineer has to be somewhat knowledgeable of manufacturing methods, ofdrafting (drawing) standards and programming techniques. We are proposing that these topics becovered in freshmen/sophomore level courses.

One reason for thedecline can be attributed to the lack of awareness of graduating engineers of the challengespresented in manufacturing a particular product

an average of 0.7, which seems to indicate a significant improvementin the minds of the students. When asked what courses helped and didn’t helped, students werealmost as likely to indicate their first-year composition course. Many frequently mentioned theECET courses that have comprehensive lab reports as helping them improve their writing. Thisseems to be borne out by the response to questions 3 through 5. Question 3 asks whether theEnglish and Comm classes helped and the responses are in the low 3's. Questions 4 and 5, withscores typically above 4, indicate the students believe the curriculum provides sufficientopportunities for them to improve and the ECET professors provide them with feedback Ingeneral, these results seemed to indicate

Late scope changes are discouraged as the students are under pressure, not only in thiscourse, but also in 4-6 other courses in their programs.At the same time the students are developing specifications they are encouraged to develop abasic project management plan. This involves identification of all of the various tasks associatedwith the project and an estimate (no matter how far off) of the time required to complete eachtask. The students are encouraged to identify an individual responsible for each one of the tasksand to create tasks that are no more than one week in duration. The one week duration for tasksis an attempt to keep the groups on track and to ensure that the students have a focus for each

The question is then, how muchof a P.E.’s workday time is actually spent doing civil engineering analysis and design tasks thatcould just as well be done by a civil engineering technologist?Will the civil engineering industry be willing to undertake the creation of a category of positionsthat have different prerequisites and career paths from those of the Professional Engineer?

adjustment of one or more actuators connected to it. Anexample of this would be to add a decision making thing to the above example that “subscribes”to the temperature, light and motion data that has been ‘published” by the sensing devices.Using a control algorithm, the decision making device would “publish” new actuator positions tothe broker that would store these instructions. When a third actuator device logs into the IoTsystem, it can subscribe to the subset of instructions pertaining to it actuators and makeadjustments based on the instructions published by the decision-making device(s). This systemcan operate without constant human intervention and does not have to be fully connected at alltimes – thus the creation of an IoT system. Finally

CAD/CAM graduates will increasingly have to compete with skilled and lower paid workers from countries like China, India and the developing world.• An Expansive Curriculum: A stand-alone program will need to have opportunities to expand the curriculum to allow specialization. The current curriculum through the proposed technical electives already to some extent captures alternatives. However, there is room for additional courses that would both compliment and supplement the current experience. These would be in the following areas: o Product Lifecycle Management (PLM): Exposure to the setup and use of a Product Data Management system would be
