Careful attention tosafety planning has been required because; these industrial tools present many of the samehazards as conventional machine tools. Thus, engineers working in the areas of robotics musthave a well-structured understanding of robotic systems. Model driven simulation is a valuabletool for helping in this aspect. RoboCell simulation software is one such model driven simulationprogram. Simulation is a powerful tool, but robotics research should be conducted on robots. Inthis paper we provide a brief approach to learning technical aspects of industrial robots throughuse of an educational robot and RoboCell simulation software

In addition, by allowing the students to enter a virtual space at fullscale, it is possible to add more pragmatism to their design experiences. IntroductionUse of 3D technology to present virtual buildings has traditionally been hampered by longrendering times, and the non-interactiveness of a pre-rendered walkthrough. Movie render times ofseveral days to a week are not unheard of, depending on the complexity of the sequence.1Today, 3D computer games are highly complex systems that consist of a universal game engine andthe specific

The MICROMEGAS consists of steel mesh that isseparated from a PCB by 100-150 microns of Kapton or insulator pillars. The region between themetallic mesh and the PCB has a very high electric filed that allows electron multiplication usingimpact ionization. We are predicting that the MICROMEGAS can provide better amplificationand better signal to noise ratio than the GEM fluorescence’s detector.

The purpose of the courseis to make space for undergraduate computing students to explore how systems of power arecoproduced with computing so that students can practice making social justice-centeredtransformations as critical participants of their field. The content of the course plan is organizedthrough modules that overview opportunities and considerations for intervention in computing.The learning environment is discussed through commitments to queer and critical racepedagogies, interdisciplinarity, and mixed methods in which teacher
