Thiswould free up the selection choices of interns and eliminate possible duplication of material.The academic leaders of the Software Engineering Masters’ degree program(s), which theorganization will use in the future for its software engineering interns, should be invited to abriefing with the organization’s management and a small cross section of employees so they canbetter understand the daily functions of the organization. A short panel session withorganizational management followed by an open Q&A session and, perhaps, one-on-onediscussions with a cross section of individual employees could substantially increase theunderstanding faculty would have of the interns’ academic needs.There is a very diverse range of continuing professional

Hence, the user computes the forward kinematics and then the inversekinematics for the individual gripper positions necessary to carry out the instructor specifiedtask (for example, a pick and place routine).The resulting angular positions arrived at for each of the positions which the robotic arm isdesired to move through are placed in tabular form. These values are now entered in this VIand the execute button is clicked on. Error checking is first done to ensure that the enteredvalues lie within the specified ranges of motion of each motor.

Finally, the Excel add-in 8@Risk, developed by Palisade Corporation, is used to teach students to use Monte Carloanalyses in spacecraft design and performance assessment. Students learn how to perform MonteCarlo analyses and interpret the results through outputs such as probability density functions(PDFs), cumulative distribution functions (CDFs or “s-curves”), and tornado plots.Grades are determined by frequent lab assignments, quizzes, and a final project. There are fivelaboratory assignments and quizzes are given weekly at the beginning of each lab period. Thequizzes
