diversity, equity and inclusion. The lack ofdiversity in engineering contributes to inequitable outcomes due to, in part, the biases that we allhave. Hence, we put forth the idea of education for all at our engineering college as a means tocounter those biases and develop excellent engineers who can contribute to the solutions of oursociety’s big challenges. In our approach, five community teams were established to developproposed plans on DEI education, starting with a focus on race and ethnicity, for all students,faculty, and staff at the college. It was one of the most far-reaching DEI efforts at a college ofengineering. The plans were developed over one year, grounded in the literature around DEI andinput from our community.This lessons learned

nuggets of wisdom like, “Spec sheets always lie,” and “There is no suchthing as a problem, only challenges.”A well planned and executed student project should be finished, tested, and working at the end ofthe semester, by the expected date of completion. But, as any faculty member will tell you,things do not always go according to plan. The shortfalls are often attributed to unforeseencircumstances, personal failures, or simply running out of time.Risks and the management of risks are part of the capstone experience. But traditionalapproaches to risk management do not address the most common kind of risk found in studentcapstone projects, namely, risk to the schedule.In this paper, we propose an approach to schedule risk management, based on

professional development was presented in a blended mannerusing both asynchronous and synchronous meetings platforms to support collaboration.Participating teachers came to the synchronous meetings with a list of potential topics that couldbe used to connect engineering to their local school community. During the synchronoussessions, teachers worked with project team members to further develop these ideas and plan forlesson implementation the following academic year.IntroductionConnecting the engineering curricula with the local community to build relevance andauthenticity has been a central focus of this project. Correspondingly, place-based perspectiveshave largely informed the study and curriculum development process. “Teaching and learningalways

willcause students to look at their design and evaluate all possible modes of failure. The RiskAssessment phase helps students to evaluate how much risk each possible failure poses tothe project. This leads to the prioritization of the various analyses and designmodifications required for success. The Risk Mitigation phase leads the students intocritical problem solving. While they probably would have gotten there anyway, all toooften it would have been at the last minute and created ensuing panics. By using TRM,they are forced into problem solving mode earlier in the project, thus avoiding the panicmode. The steps developed in the risk mitigation plan will be driven by the student’scourse of study. However, the concepts are equally viable for

On other occasions, students felt the need to spendmore than was necessary, simply because they had the budget available. Faculty identified thiswasteful spending as an opportunity to shift to an entrepreneurial budget model. The new modelallows faculty to manage the overall project allocation funds more strategically, while providinglearning opportunities for students through the incorporation of entrepreneurial concepts intoproject design.Because of insufficient planning, poor time management, or lack of accountability

The inverse kinematics is very similar to the teaching of forward kinematics except instead of givingthe transformations the end effector position is given. The robot will represent the movements to thesame position but will mathematically work backwards to find the transformations. To teach the Jacobian, a predefined robot is used to calculate all Jacobian(s). Then the robot ismoved to all values found to show students the singularity at these points.

That, in combination with technical interests and skills, maturity, life experience,and self-discipline, makes SVSM ideal candidates for helping engineering education meet thesedemands [1,2].

The hybrid type is the most difficult to optimize regarding overall system costand efficiencies since it entails frequent integration of product design, process planning,inventory requirements, variable batch sizes, and other constraints of post-manufacturingdelivery. The current study links the product design and manufacturing planning activitieswithin the factory with order fulfillment objectives and the overall distribution networkthrough a model for flexible, low-cost Design for Manufacturing (DFM) system.Recent trends
