This activity will assist students in developing a plan for action that they can apply to their current lives. • Technical Skills: A robotic arm will be programmed to relate this idea to kinematics. Students will also relate software programs to a step-by-step process. They will learn programming principles in detail and be introduced to structures in the LabVIEW programming

integration skills right along. Students learn better, and teaching becomes moreeffective when the technology is planned right into the lessons. To train engineers of the future,faculty members need to be technology advocates.In the developing world, there are many reasons for the lack of deeper knowledge of technologyintegration by faculty members. These include but are not limited by teacher apathy, budgetlimitations, lack of leadership, and lack of availability of training. Teachers’ knowledge of theengineering software application is limited, which consequently limits the meaningful learningexperience in the classroom. This process needs direction and support and must be acollaborative effort using the combined knowledge base of the faculty

Issues that arenot able to be resolved are assumed, perhaps implicitly, to remain intractable due to lack ofsufficient resources, failure to engage needed actors, or the inability (as of yet) to articulate avalid solution path. The role of the change agent is that of an engineer or manager.In contrast Theory B views issues as tensions between portions of the system and/or multipleactors that represent a dynamic equilibrium within the system. This equilibrium is the state ofthe system as it currently exists and the state in turn is defined by the existence of tensions. Thetensions do not exist by design, rather they arise almost coincidentally from rational ordefensible positions taken by actors or organizational units within the system
