Model Driven Robot Simulation: RoboCell Kuldeep S. Rawat, and Gholam H. Massiha Department of Industrial Technology University of Louisiana at Lafayette AbstractRobotics courses are offered in the College of Engineering at University of Louisiana atLafayette. Subjects such as robot applications, end of arm tooling, safety, and analysis of robotspecifications are covered in these courses. These robotics fields have benefited considerably inthe last three decades from the advancement of computer science, as advanced software toolswere developed to study the working of robots. As robots have

pandemic, the comments about the class havebeen insightful. Because the topics are things that have not been broached before, the classbecomes unique and many students comment on how relaxing many of the assignments are. Thevariety/out of the box nature of the assignments let students heavily involved with technicalengineering find a moment to simply relax. The lack of pressure provides a little light in the longdays of being trapped in one location. This one focus will be another aspect to investigatefurther. Investigating how the students need courses that allow relaxation in our curriculum willbe appropriate study to follow.BibliographyABET web site, Accrediting Board for Engineering and Technology, www.abet.orgAtman, Cynthia J., Sheri D

IntroductionThe undergraduate enrollment of Baylor University is nearly 12,000 students. Many of thesestudents choose to major in the liberal arts, resulting in a vibrant campus life with a diversity ofperforming and visual arts attractions. Baylor also has a well established reputation of excellence inmedicine, and as such, pre-medicine is the most often intended field of study among first-yearstudents. Baylor too has a nearly 100-year-old history of offering academic programs in business,which comprises the second largest academic unit with over 3,000

Insights Learned from Conversion of Web-Based On-Line Courses Back to Traditional Classroom Presentations Harry C. Petersen, PhD Minnesota State University, MankatoABSTRACTManufacturing Engineering Technology classes at Minnesota State University in Mankato,Minnesota, including Industrial Safety, and Logistics, had been converted from traditionalclassroom presentations to web-based on-line classes. We discovered that there were someadvantages to on-line courses, such as enhancing presentations, grading homework, and assistingstudents who missed a class. But, due to time and budget problems and security concerns, theseclasses were later converted back to

Examples of Rubrics Used to Assess ABET Student Outcomes in a Capstone Course Byron Garry South Dakota State UniversityIntroductionIn our Electronics Engineering Technology (EET) program, we are continually re-evaluating thestudent outcomes and how they are measured by the assessment process. We have defined, withthe approval of alumni and our industrial advisory board, sixteen Student Outcomes labeled (a) -(p). These begin with the ABET Criterion 3 Student Outcomes (a) - (k)1 , and then add theProgram Criteria for Electrical/Electronics Engineering Technology, and some universityrequired student learning outcomes, which are labeled

Theseranged from one week programs to six week programs, and whenstarted the goal of these programs was to increase interest in STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). Though these programswere popular we didn’t see many of these students apply to theUniversity of Colorado when they got to that stage. When theleadership of the BOLD (Broadening Opportunity through Leadership andDiversity) Center shifted, more emphasis was placed on using theseprograms as a recruitment tool and they were ultimately cancelled dueto not recruiting students to CU

. Recently, veteran manufacturing employees are retiring fasterthan they can be replaced, taking decades of experience and knowledge with them. It isimperative to continue to train and hire young manufacturing talent to keep the industry strong.For this study, four well-established Pennsylvania foundries and 18 students or alumni whocompleted metalcasting internships were surveyed to begin to establish the best practices forrecruiting and retaining young talent into the foundry industry, with a focus on providinginternships to four-year university engineering or engineering technology students. The surveyincluded 10 directed questions with information typical of establishing a manufacturinginternship, and one open-ended question. An overview of the
disciplines on the mathematics topics students need to master tobe successful in their respective fields of study. The consortium has more than 50 team membersacross approximately 20 disciplines and from 15 institutions. The goals of the consortium are to implement major recommendations from the MAA CF project for the purpose of broadening participation in and institutional capacity for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) learning, especially relative to teaching and learning in undergraduate mathematics courses; foster a network of faculty and programs in order to promote community and institutional transformation, through shared experiences and ideas for successfully creating functional

applications and/or technologies that embodied thetheoretical class information. In order to do so, students were required to research topics of theirown choosing and then communicate their findings to their peers, thus developing “soft skills.”The other central objective was for students to analyze the engineering design process as a wholerather than focusing on one aspect without examining the broader consequences. By examiningthe physical materials used, potential societal benefits of the product, and the practices of themanufacturing/sales companies, students were to study the impacts of these decisions anddetermine which would be sustainable. Furthermore, these objectives were carried out in such amanner that encouraged sustainable learning.The

students had previously read. Because the panel was unscripted, students werefree to ask any questions they wished. The discussion was quite fruitful, andconversations which began during the panel interview continued informally during lunch.The activities on Saturday afternoon were designed to deepen students’ understanding ofthe many stages of the design process. Faculty from the Schools of Engineering andBusiness, and experts from the field, offered a series of mini-lectures on topics whichincluded Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing, successful product marketing, acase study on lighting design for the elderly, and a hands-on activity on new materialsand technology. After these structured activities, students broke into their design teamsand
