These systems provide an opportunity for students to access virtually all thelevels of hardware and software required by an engineer to drive the robot, allowing for a deepexploration of control systems. Motor drivers, gears, and software programming are expoundedupon, which removes the “black-box” issue that occurs with most industrial robotics systems.Throughout the implementation of these systems within the laboratories, direct and indirectassessments were administered to gauge student success.

University remedies range from social eventsand student organization activities to academic-related growth opportunities and curriculumimprovements down to an individual course level. Mathematics skill building, particularly inengineering and engineering technology majors, is of paramount importance but often left to thestandard mathematics course sequence. This article presents a course-level approach that engagesstudents through solving engineering problems using mathematics in a more practical way. Theapproach is to (i) reveal common mathematical challenges arising in science and engineeringproblems from various fields; (ii) present the problem solution leading to a common mathematicsformulation (e.g., a

It does not matter which motor (linear motor or rotary motor) iscommissioned first. Without the need for mechanical gears, spindles, or belts as an intermediaryconnection, the motion is entirely electrical and wear-free. The linear motor stator includesposition capture sensors, bearings for linear movement, motor windings, and a microcontrollercircuit for motor monitoring [1].System Advantages and Technical AspectsThis system will be integrated with existing hardware equipment already present in the lab.

electronic-based motor drive allows us to achievethis goal under various sailing conditions.Fundamentals to Comprehensive Curriculum DevelopmentTraditional electrical engineering technology (EET) or electrical and computer engineeringtechnology (ECET) programs add two to four courses to provide the skill needed for e-mobilityand renewable energy areas [4]. If the focus is e-mobility, a course in power electronics, electricdrives, and electric powertrain would be ideal. If three courses are not possible, a beginner’scourse in power electronics and a comprehensive electric powertrain course would be sufficient.If renewable energy is an option in the program, an electrical power system course and arenewable energy integration course would suffice.

construction of a walking beam conveyor, combinedwith a parts feeder driven by a Geneva mechanism. Both the walking beam conveyer and theGeneva mechanism are examples of machinery used in automation that pre-dates electroniccontrol systems. While they can be operated as strictly mechanical systems, their application canbe expanded by implementation of electronic control. An industrial grade programmable logiccontroller (provided by the ET program) is perhaps the most desirable type of controller to usedue to its relevance to industry. However, a hobbyist grade microcontroller such as Arduino [4]may be desirable in some circumstances. As the project continues, it is foreseen that thesemechanisms can be integrated into a larger system employing modern

Electro-technical officer (ETO) on a ship is responsible for maintaining electronic equipment like radars,navigational equipment, global positioning systems, and voice data recorders. Currently, noinstitution of higher education in the USA is offering an ETO degree. Texas A&M Universitywill be the first to develop and offer such a program.

Programming isan important part of the digital twin concept [5].In fact, programming has becoming more relevant in our lives as we live in an immersive digitalage and is often associated to algorithmic thinking, which is not only a skill related to computersbut becomes something more general that can be applied to other fields [6], [7].Often, the class curriculum stays behind, despite different initiatives are suggested forimplementation such as the USA initiative
