In fact, this projectreinforced the goals of the degree program by providing problems that required knowledge inElectrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Controls Engineering. Students not onlyhad to employ their engineering skills to design and implement, but also were confronted withtime and budget as well as interacting with different vendors. In particular, students had tocombine their knowledge in the field of Statics
