For instance, the grabber size is limited by one size and it cannot lifttoo much weight, the pick-and-place simulation lab objects are limited to quarters.DESIGN PHASEThe project describes five labs in total covering from safety to writing programs and testing.Each lab focuses on a topic. After performing all the labs, students will be familiar with writingprograms and running them continuously or systematically. The following are the topics for allthe labs: Lab 1 – Safety Lab Lab 2 – Introductory Lab Lab 3 – Programming

stability of any power grid.IntroductionA conventional timing light shown in Figure 1 uses a halogen light to determine if the voltagessources, of approximately equal amplitude, are in phase with each other. When the voltage fromthe generator is in phase with the power grid, the current through the light is zero. The current isat its maximum when φ, the phase angle is between the two sources, is 180 degrees.The phase angle in radians shown in equation (1) is a function of t, the time delay betweensources, and ω, the radian frequency. φ=t·ω (1)The conventional timing light is out of date because halogen lights are no longer manufactureddue to their

The rationale is threefold: (1) the natureof our hands-on teaching philosophy, (2) the advent and relevance of SMRs and need of trainedworkforce, and (3) the ongoing need of engineering programs to be submerged in active interactionswith local industry as well as provide our engineering students with real-world experience.Introduction According to the Virginia Nuclear Energy

Theformat for these courses is often to teach C/C++ programming, with embedded hardware andsoftware as a core component to the course.

Disassembly of the module revealed a simple spring trigger mechanism to sensethe motion of the toy and cause it to activate the voice circuit when sufficient impact accelerationoccurred.Hands-on experience is a key part of effective undergraduate engineering education [1], [2].Coupling hands-on experience with team project-based learning further benefits

Accessibility and flexibility are associatedwith the student's opportunity to attend the classes from anywhere, anytime. Also, each coursesession can be recorded for later reference allowing access to students at convenient times. Giventhat online courses can be taken from any location, students avoid missing classes; thus, attendanceis improved [4]. The increased affordability is related to reducing students’ external financial costssuch as transportation, food, rent, apartment, and printed materials during these restricted times.

Since product and process variability can be described in statisticalterms, determination of this in quantitative form using statistical methods will point us to theobvious direction of rectification. Process Capability is a measure of the uniformity of a processoutput. To estimate this, engineering and statistical analyses have to be launched. If a process isdetermined to be incapable of producing product within the required specification, StatisticalProcess Control (SPC) will not fix it or control it; however, it will exhibit that the process isincapable.Often time’s workers are blamed
