Robotics Process Automation: The Virtual Assistant Kanwaljeet Singh, Prof. Christian BachAbstract – The Robots have long time presence in the manufacturing industry. In today’s Worldthey are helping small to big companies to reduce their operational cost. And they are not limitedto manufacturing industry only. These days, Robots are part of every organization from banking,finance, communication, electronics, engineering, healthcare, and technology. Companies candeploy them based on their needs or requirements and they can do very simple to complex tasks.Especially, in the finance industry, Robots are helping to perform simple tasks of bookingjournal entries to reconciling bank accounts

Logic Circuits Lab – Breadboard or VerilogAbstract:Logic Circuit design is one of the introductory courses for Electrical Engineering and ElectricalEngineering Technology students. Ideally, it introduces students to hands-on circuit building,problem solving, testing and function verification. The lab teaches them to use correct labequipment from digital meters and oscilloscopes to digital logic analyzers. The logic design lab isa learning experience that most students enjoy, as it is their first hands-on experience withdesigning and building miniature systems.Other instructors prefer introducing students to Verilog design as the lab experience. Studentsusually use evaluation boards to implement their designs. The

The study is designed to share processes used at our institution that were, in part, basedon work previously shared by other institutions embarking on similar efforts to improve theinclusivity of their faculty search processes. We discuss the complex and controversial issuesthat arose while searching for tenure-track faculty and explain how we navigated thosechallenges to meet our institution’s goals. We also discuss the institutional, college, anddepartment-level support systems that were deemed crucial for recruiting faculty, with theirlong-term success and retention in mind
course. Many colleagues in non-engineering courses commented inteaching forums that they were not covering as much material as usual in their courses. However,those who responded with this comment, typically taught courses that did not necessarily createor provide knowledge or skills required for further success in the major. However, with the casestudy course, this is a core pre-requisite for two majors (Civil and Mechanical). This makes thiscourse a crucial first step in the students’ academic path at the University.With this in mind, the course schedule changed only slightly due to the week offstudents/instructors received to prepare for the online transition.
