established in a nursery setting, sold for planting, andestablished in the ground, these PNs can become widely dispersed by a number of factors,including machinery, handheld planting equipment, the movement via shoes and clothing, themovement of soil, and many other mechanisms. Timely inspection and detection are critical tothe control of these PNs.PN diagnostics are difficult via visual inspection by host plant symptoms, andmolecular/laboratory diagnostics are typically time-consuming and costly. Visual inspection ofplant roots may destroy healthy plants and plant tissue. The need to develop new innovativeways and equipment to detect cyst nematodes is crucial.

This paper describes the rationale for deploying industrial cobots intoa traditional industrial robotics systems integration course. It describes the lab redevelopmentprocess, provides initial assumptions and early observations, and discusses lessons learned todate. The next steps for research and practice are also outlined.BackgroundThe IML was initially established in 2007

The primary programming environment forthose working on ROS includes C++, Python, or Java. MathWorks recently released its RoboticsSystems Toolbox and ROS Toolbox. Using MATLAB to interact with robotic simulators (suchas Gazebo) and physical ROS-compatible robots (such as TurtleBot) becomes a new option. Theexisting toolboxes in MATLAB enable the development and verification of robotic control algo-rithms more quickly. Though it is

Trueproductive feedback will not only enhance student learning within a course, but will also readystudents for lifelong learning [6].In order to gauge student competencies, some form of assessment must be carried out, thefeedback from which can be crucial. These assessments can be completed at the student level,course level or instructor level and can be quantitative or qualitative.

good example of this occurred at the University of Tennessee in the late 1990s [3]. At theUniversity of Tennessee [3] the two first-year courses were redesigned in response torecommendations of an industrial advisory board and ABET. The result was a FYE programwhich was deemed the “Engage Program”. The first semester course was a non-calculus-basedapproach that focused on computer programming, graphic skills, and problem solving. Thesecond semester course focused more on calculus-based content with emphasis on statics anddynamics. Basic concepts would be presented in a one-hour lecture and the concepts werereinforced during low-tech, hands-on laboratory exercises. Additionally, students would meetwith graduate teaching assistants in a
