The prerequisites include: introduction to kinematics, machineelements, introduction to dynamic systems and controls, introduction to fluid mechanics, andintroduction to aerodynamics. These prerequisites have their own prerequisites, such as physics,calculus, and mechanics of solids. These subjects will have introduced the concepts

As the focus of our project is on Industry 4.0 tools and technologies, we anticipate that we can learn more about what is happening on the plant floor if we gather data where “the rubber meets the road.” • In surveying managers about the technologies they are using, we followed Frank et al’s conceptual framework, which provides a useful taxonomy of Industry 4.0 technologies. However, Frank et al.’s sample consisted of Brazilian companies in construction and machinery which may be more traditional and less high-tech than U.S

While the diversity of 4-year universities has remained stagnant, the diversity ofcommunity college student populations is actually increasing. Therefore, community collegesrepresent a potential source of talent for future engineers from diverse backgrounds.
