Engineering educators are observing significant shifts in societal expectationsof the engineering profession to help address immediate and longer-term sustainable developmentchallenges. According to the World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO),engineering plays a significant role in planning and building projects that preserve naturalresources, are cost-efficient, and support human and natural environments [2]. The NationalAcademy of Engineering formulated in 2004 its vision of the engineer of 2020 [3]. This reportoutlines a number of aspirational goals where it sees the

Project 1 is regarding path planningand waypoint navigation of a robot working in a completely known environment, i.e., all objects and theirpositions are known beforehand. The robot will find an obstacle-free path from its current position to aspecified goal location and then follow the path, as shown in Fig. 1 (c) and (d). As an extension, the objects’positions are assumed to be unknown. This requires the robot to first detect the positions of the unknownobjects using its onboard range sensors; determine the number of objects by applying certain clusteringalgorithm; and

After a brief partnership with an outside firm, Marquette began licensing GasDaydirectly to natural gas utilities in 2001.The GasDay Project is not the result of a strategic plan to enter into a retail software licensingbusiness. Rather, it is the result of an unexpected end to a more typical university-industrytechnology transfer arrangement. Once the first GasDay model was in use at Wisconsin GasMarquette University realized it had a licensable property.
