TheIDS course also prepares the engineering students to take on the Capstone Design course in theirsenior year. The second novel feature of IDS project is that it involved concurrent delivery oftwo junior level courses where the course content of the courses was synchronized. The coursesinvolved in this project were ENGR 3650: Product and Tool Design (Engineering Department),and MARK 3700: Marketing Research (Marketing Department). Both the classes have the samenumber of credits (3) available to the students. Engineers take ENGR 3650 while marketingstudents

The system consists of two Omni-drive robots: a SlaveRobot (SR) and a Master Robot (MR). The SR works independently. It sweeps dust and dirt fromfloor surfaces, including the corners of a room, beneath cabinets, or behind tables and otherfurniture. Additionally, it sends information/data to the MR. The MR computes an efficient pathto vacuum dust and dirt in the sections of the room based on the information/mapping

Overall, many different fields of engineering can benefitfrom this application, enabling the development of skill and knowledge in many differentengineering aspects and processes. As this capstone design project provides opportunities forstudents to design & manufacture, it stimulates the students’ interest in real-world productrealization. As manufacturing laboratories are very expensive to develop, this project can also beadapted at other institutions that have limited funding to improve manufacturing processfacilities.Background In Drexel University’s School of Technology and Professional Studies, many courses relatedto robotics, design, and materials are offered to the
