to real-time operating systems or they justemphasize concepts of RTOS and introduce basic theoretic topics (e.g., various softwarearchitectures, real-time multi-task scheduling strategies, etc.) in their microcontroller courses[1]~[4] . As a result, students who may have a good understanding of theory and concepts of RTOSdo not have the opportunity to map their knowledge onto real-world implementations. To bridgethe gap between conceptual understanding and concrete implementations, a Real Time OperatingSystem educational platform has been established for EET students in the Department ofEngineering Technology & Industrial Distribution at Texas A&M University as well as in theEngineering Technology program at Northern Kentucky

three departments, who wantto develop robotic expertise, to acquire needed knowledge and hands-on skills in robotics so theycan work as robotic/mechatronics designers or technicians.The course sequence is designed in a way that allow students to gain knowledge and skills inrobotics in a more systematic and natural manner. The first course, Embedded Systems andApplications in Robotics, introduces to students the world of microcontrollers and otherembedded systems, the brains of the robots or smart devices. This course covers the use andpotential applications of embedded system in various key industries. The second course,Actuators and Sensors Applications in Robotics, introduce to the students the world of sensors,actuators, and their

high school lackexperience with problem solving and hands-on activities. These students often seem disengagedand uninterested in the classroom setting. Some have suggested that teaching methods should bemodified to be more entertaining in an effort to reach this generation. While modification ofteaching methods may be part of the solution, another answer to this problem could be exposureto industry operations. First hand work experience can spark an interest in the field ofengineering technology that cannot be duplicated in the classroom alone. Knowledge gained inthe classroom has less meaning without exposure to “real world” application. Through the use ofinternships, students gain work experience that compliments classroom instruction

innovative learning experience, students will graduate with competency in solving real‐world manufacturing problems currently facing enterprises and developing future manufacturingsolutions that can impact our society.IntroductionRobotics and automation are expected to reduce the use of humans initially, then it would lead toan overall growth in jobs in the following years based on a research entitled “Positive Impact ofIndustrial Robots on Employment”1. In 2011, there are 4 to 6 million of jobs that are directlycreated due to the implementation of robotics technologies according to the InternationalFederation of Robotics (IFR)2. This number becomes 8 to 10 million if the indirect employmentsare taken into account. Due to the rapid growth of the

In fact, thispaper/presentation will cover continuous improvement opportunities that were identified throughthe assessment of the project work. Some of the problems that were identified and addressedinclude inadequate and untimely project selection by companies, students wasting time gettingstarted, weak team leadership, and ambiguous root causes.1.

of electrical subject matter experts. These networksvaried by team and in aggregate included EET faculty, a licensed electrician who was a familyfriend of one of the students, the spouse of an MET student, an instrumentation engineer workingon the University of Maine campus, and MET course instructors. Whereas most teams self-diagnosed their knowledge gap and sought help from their advisor to identify an electricalsubject matter expert, one team failed to self-diagnose their knowledge gap and failed to reachout to instructor-identified subject matter experts in a timely fashion.3.2 Instructors’ observationsThe capstone sequence is critical in that students are exposed to real-world projects within anacademic environment.

This preview also allows the userto set pre-defined areas of interest on certain objects, instructing the camera to pay specialattention to fine details or ignore certain features of the object completely. Selection areas havebeen predefined for objects included with the software, but users can create their own areas ofinterest as well.By learning how to interact with the robot in the developed simulation environment, users willdevelop technical skills that are easily transferrable to real-world applications without the needfor expensive equipment or software licenses.

Withinweeks the number of participating faculty shrank to roughly 15, whose affiliations varied widelyranging from engineering technology to theatre. These remaining faculty were exposed to aseries of individual and team exploration exercises intended strengthen the bond among theparticipants. The initial design of two distinct learning experiences emerged in the spring of2014. Their purpose was to examine real-world open-ended problems from different lenses. A“Seminar” experience would address the problem from a cultural and societal lens while a“Design Studio” experience would examine the problem from a science and technologyperspective. The notion of “competency” was adopted through research

MXET curriculum was and will continue to betailored to real-world needs and entry-level job opportunities. Finally, the costs associated with thenew program in terms of equipment and faculty positions were reasonable and manageable. The MXET program was initially limited to accepting 25 students in each of the first twosemester of operation; a goal that was easily achieved. Based on the enrollment growth needs of theCollege of Engineering’s 25x25 initiative, this quota was raised for the second year to 50 studentsper semester which also appears to be achievable based on acceptable applications that have beenreceived prior to the start of the Fall 2017 semester. It is expected that the first MXET students will graduate from the

involved the introduction of key concepts and principles of networkmanagement to students. In order to provide students with the latest knowledge of networkmanagement, we not only presented existing network management models and protocols, but alsointroduced the most up-to-date techniques and examples in real world scenarios. Exams andquizzes were used to help students review important topics and refresh the knowledge they havelearned.For lab-based learning, hands-on lab activities provided students with the opportunities to practicewhat they have learned from lecture-based learning. An experimental network environment wascreated for students conducting lab activities. The environment was implemented in Netlab [6] andincorporated both physical

]. Manufacturing was an important base of the Americaneconomy beginning with the days of the Industrial Revolution. The United States served as theleading manufacturer in the world for years through strong investment in innovation andentrepreneurship. However, that commitment waned over many years. Today, there is a need toreinvest in manufacturing. This nation’s ability to reassert itself as the world’s leader in thissector is threatened by high operating costs, consequently providing a competitive edge for othercountries [2]. Manufacturers are increasingly turning to automation as a means of reducing costthrough higher production rates, quality, and safety.
