Session ETD 315 Utilizing Industry Professionals in a Senior Capstone Project Thomas J. Dobrowski, Purdue NorthwestAbstractStarting in the academic year of 2016, two regional campuses of Purdue University unified. Indoing so, degree programs that were the same on each campus had to align themselves to offeridentical courses to allow students to seamlessly move between the two campuses. In general,this did not pose much of a problem for the Construction Engineering and ManagementTechnology (CEMT) degree program as all but two of the courses in the degree program werealready being offered on both campuses.The one course

Following feedback fromour industry advisory board (IAB) members, as well as industry partners, a need was determinedto find a way to incorporate these topics into the curriculum with our already limited resources.Faculty members presented a solution by retrofitting several outdated robots, currently in ourpossession, with newer technologies. These 30+ year-old robots had been slated for disposal dueto age, but after some exploration, it was determined that they could be salvaged and updated.The project entailed reverse engineering motor driver circuits, developing new hardware
