Coupled with VisionProsoftware from Cognex, [10] the camera interfaces directly into a PC via firewire and from the PCto the robot via a serial port. This makes for an unlimited application base to teach upon.Currently the firewire camera is for use in special projects only as time does not permit thecovering of this system within the confines of the current curriculum.

A number of schools provide Construction Engineering education,which can provide the background needed for many field and construction engineering positions.But is there enough of the civil engineering content in construction engineering curricula tosatisfy the needs of the future site civil engineer who will be paired with the project constructionmanager and owner’s project manager?A second, future demand for civil engineering technologists appears

Job growth forelectrical and electronics engineers will occur largely in engineering services firms, becausemore companies are expected to cut costs by contracting their engineering services rather thandirectly employing engineers. These engineers also will be in demand to develop sophisticatedconsumer electronics.

The feeling of accomplishment that comes from actually producing a working device using technology Page 22.991.3 is essential in a recruiting tool. Low-Cost - It was determined that since this was a recruiting tool, the EET/TET program (or their sponsors) should be responsible for associated costs. Thus, while the robotic platforms for competitions such as FIRST and BEST can easily cost in excess of $1000, this tool needed to have a per platform cost of less than $100. Emphasis on

of the problems in engineering technology education is that the students do not correlateclosely engineering and science subjects and do not always transfer the knowledge they acquiredin physics and mathematics to their engineering-technology classes. This problem is addressedin our project by developing a close relationship among faculty teaching engineering-technologycourses and those teaching physics and mathematics. The goal of our approach is to providestudents with the ability to transfer readily the material studied in physics and mathematics to theengineering-technology courses. Simultaneously, an engineering-technology student studyingphysics and mathematics will have access to applications in the engineering-technology field.A two
