First, the geometry of the simulator will be mathematicallyanalyzed and defined by the students, which will enable optimal geometries to be solved for tomaximize certain ranges of motion. Then, the dynamics of the system will be simulated usingMATLAB's Simulink technology to confirm the simulator's theoretical dynamic performance,verify the ranges of motion from the students' mathematical analysis, and provide the necessaryspecifications for the motors. Furthermore, structural analysis with SolidWorks will be used tocalculate the factor of safety of the system, which will help properly size the rotary

Numerous facultyexplored the possible recruitment advantages of disadvantages the FYE courses have introducedinto the college. Among some faculty, the FYE courses appear to have an electrical andcomputer engineering focus, possibly due to the Matlab programming requirements andextensive use of Arduino microcontroller technology throughout the project components of thecourse.

It is distinct from the purely technological areasbecause of its strict system of logic. Due to this, and partly because of the large number ofconcepts and formulas that the students need to learn, MOS has been regarded as one of the mostdifficult undergraduate courses at Rutgers University. This can be validated by a two-tail t-testwith an α=.05 comparing the average D,W,F percentage spanning ten semesters for MOS at30.1% which was determined to be statistically significantly higher than any other courseofferings from the department with the next closest average
