Afterwards he was selected for the exchange scientist program and spent a summer working for DASA Aerospace in Wedel, Germany 1993. His initial research also made a major contribution to the M1A1 barrel reshape initiative that began in 1995. Shortly afterwards he was selected for a 1 year appointment to the United States Military Academy West Point where he taught Mathematics. Following these accomplishments he worked on the SADARM fire and forget projectile that was finally used in the second gulf war. Since that time, circa 2002, his studies have focused on unmanned systems both air and ground. His team

The need for improved integration of professional standards inengineering education has been long recognized [1].The inclusion of standards in the senior capstone course is part of the ABET accreditationprocess for engineering programs [2], and many students begin to develop a deeperunderstanding of the importance of codes and standards through the capstone experience. Thecertificate program described in this paper is designed to develop this deeper understanding ofcodes and standards earlier in a student’s academic career. The certificate program focuses onthe role of codes and standards within the engineering

However, research suggeststhat engineering graduates may not be adequately prepared for the workplace due to thecomplexities of engineering work [2]. Engineering work involves complexity, ambiguity, andcontradictions [3], and developing innovation skills requires analyzing real-world problems thatare often ill-defined and multifaceted [4]. Therefore, it is essential for engineering students to haveopportunities to work in multi-disciplinary teams to develop their skills in problem-solving andinnovation. This emphasis on the need for exposure to multi-disciplinary problem solving holdstrue not only for undergraduate engineers in training, but also for graduate students focused

While early adopters of ROS were graduate students or in-dustry users, increasingly, students and instructors are taking an interest in ROS at the under-graduate level [2] [3] [4] as has been explored at the masters level [5] [6]. However, even justinstalling ROS can be a daunting task for the uninitiated. This paper explores options for in-stalling ROS for undergraduate courses, offers recommendations, and points readers towardsadditional guides and resources.2.1 Importance of ROSROS has become a powerful staple of robotics research and development.

Calculations by hand are frequently used in academia tosupport and validate numerical solutions, as well as assess students more thoroughly onexaminations, since most web-based solutions are only able to assess the numerical answer, notthe process the student utilized to get there.

This study adopted the definition offirst-generation college students as college students whose parents did not graduate from a four-year institution [1].Across colleges and universities in the United States, first generation students comprise 30-50%of the undergraduate students. First generation students are more predominant in two-yearcolleges and in general, they tend to have a high dropout rate [2].Research indicates that first generation students are less likely to be engaged in academic andsocial experiences such as studying
