MATLAB TX prompts theArduino TX to supply the instruction code to blink an LED on the long-distancereceiver side Arduino RX. The Arduino TX lights up an LED to indicate that it hasreceived the prompt. It sends the required code to the MATLAB TX and turns off
when variation exists in the process.As shown in Figure 1, the five components (A, B, C, D, and E) are assembled together create thefinal product. If the worst-case scenario is used, the assembled product would be assumed tohave as large of the tolerance as the sum of the individual tolerances or ±0.075 inches. If thedesigner would like to keep the tolerance as ±0.050, then tighter tolerances for componentswould be sought. If this is applied to all components equally over the five assembledcomponents, then the tolerance of each component will have to be set to ± 0.010 inches whichwould increase the cost of components, perhaps unnecessarily.Using the RSS method, the variation of the assembled product is calculated using the squaredvalues of the

ABET outcomes measures that are reported in Table 3 are:(a) applying knowledge to engineering technology activities, (b) select & apply knowledge ofmath, science, engineering and technology to engineering technology, (c) conduct standard testsand measurements, and interpret experiments, (d) function in a team, (e) solve broadly-definedengineering technology problems, (f) communication skills, and (g) continuous improvement.Table 3.

image processing” book starts with the assumption that the reader hasaccess to an image. It generally does not cover on how to select/develop an imageacquisition system for a given application. This gap was addressed in this course.In summary, this designed course designed was to cover the four key segments ofcomputer vision systems, i.e. a) image acquisition, b) image processing, c) imageanalysis, and d) image understanding (pattern recognition). Table 1 illustrates thefour learning objectives of the course and their associated Bloom’s taxonomy. Toachieve these learning objectives, active teaching and learning techniques alongwith modified conventional lectures and hands-on laboratory activities were used.In addition to the assignments, and
