Hopefully bytelling this story it will be shown that these systems provide an innovative hands-on learningexperience that leads to industry-ready engineering technology graduates and provide a roadmapfor other educators to follow.BackgroundThe development and implementation of the “Retrofitted Atlas Robots” (RARs) along withcorresponding curriculum development has now been through two iterations in the robotics andautomation course sequence at CWU. In the research leading into this project, EET facultyidentified an educational gap in robotics

the “Conceive, Design, Implement, and Operate” (CDIO) framework that visualizes how themajority of graduates gravitate toward the “Design-Implement” area where functionalengineering tasks are performed. While it may be true that most functional engineering tasks donot rely on mathematics beyond calculus, it is an error in judgement to conclude that theeducational path to an “engineer” title does not need more advanced mathematics. Furtheringsuch conclusions tends to contribute to students’ misguided expectations and poor performancedue to a so-called “Temporal Relevance” perception [6].Therefore, the key hypothesis throughout this article is that mathematics is critically importantalong the educational path of an ET degree as one of the two

dilemma of whether the book is really neededand worth the cost is entirely removed. This is especially true for low income andunderrepresented student population including first generation college students, adult students,students of color, international students, and other underrepresented groups. Use of free and opencourse materials send a positive signal to the student that the professor and the university careabout them—view them as people with tight budgets, jobs, and families—and want them tosucceed in the class. Increasing access and fostering a greater sense of belonging makes studentswant to stay enrolled and graduate. Proceedings of the 2023 Conference for Industry and Education Collaboration

Theframework laid out in this proposal is easily transferable to other institutions and programsseeking a similar experience for students.

Today, inthe United States (US), institutions of higher education are charged with educating the scientists,engineers, and technicians that are the vanguard of the industrial sector workforce and the humanresources that make us competitive in the world economy. Typically, engineers and scientistsstudy STEM-based (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) topics at four-yearcolleges (undergraduate and post-graduate level) with the aid of higher mathematics (typically,calculus and differential equations) to gain an extensive insight to the theory of the subjectmatter being studied. The goals of this type of education are to impart skills that enable graduatesto have the ability to solve problems and to be innovative

The floors were serviced by two rickety 12-person elevators, two stairwells measuring 33'' in width, and one very flimsy internal fire escape,not nearly enough, in retrospect, to support the quick evacuation of more than 500 workers. Exitdoors were inward-swinging and generally locked during operating hours [2].The Triangle factory itself was controversial. Before the fire, it had received enormous publicitydue to a workers’ strike in 1909. Slave labor conditions in Manhattan’s garment district gave riseto discontent as workers, typically
