The class includes "hands-on" experience, such as field trips to farms andvineyards to a look at current farming practices around central Missouri. The students areparticularly fond of the "hands-on" experiences, and have requested more. Traction andballasting are two topics that are difficult to demonstrate in the lab due to availability and cost ofequipment. New laboratories have been developed using LEGO Mindstorms to demonstratetraction and ballasting. An introduction to autonomous vehicles is added in the form of an"autonomous tractor pull" to make the experience more exciting and educational for the students.By using small models of tractors, students gain an understanding of

Over the last five years, the college has placed 96% of itsgraduates, and each year several employers actively recruit on campus.With the size of the campus, the diversity of study, and the large number of activeentrepreneurs in the local community, this campus provides the ideal environment forimplementation of a broad-based entrepreneurial transformation. With very little fanfare,this transformation has already begun and will continue to be implemented, untilentrepreneurship permeates

These engineering foundation courses are intended to prepare cadets for their upper-class studiesand design projects. Some cadets, however, fail to recognize the importance of these courses especially whenthey are not in the cadet’s major field of study. Also, many cadets fail to recognize the principles common toeach engineering discipline.
