We decided to use the same robot arm design for use with ROS and Moveit.Because of the complexity and high learning curve in using the ROS software system we used a mentorfrom industry to help students design and build the robot arm and program the micro-controller. Thestudents programmed the Arduino Mircro-controller to control the robot arm movements withPotentiometers (POTS) or Gyro. The mentor wrote code for the Arduino Micro-controller to work withROS and Moveit. The mentor also evaluated the Robot Arm performance with ROS and Moveit.We have not yet had students use the robot arm with ROS and Moveit, since we needed to

The method is also coupled with Castigliano’s theorem andfailure theories associated with static and dynamic loading.

Hunkeler and Sharp7 found that 42% of students insenior laboratory over a four year period were Type 3 learners, that is, action-oriented “hands-on” common sense learners. Thus, an excellent method for reinforcing course content is toactively involve students in laboratory exercises or demonstrations which are designed tocompare their experimental data with data or correlations from the literature.As part of the combined requirements

)The size of a real Ybus, admittance matrix, is very large. Computational time can be aproblem, therefore, we needed to come up with algorithms to reduce the size of suchmatrix. The selection of the buses to be eliminated (in order to reduce the size of thematrix) is usually determined by the fact that there is no current being injected and /or thebus is of no importance to the analysis. As a rule if there is no external load and/or thereare not generating sources connected then we can eliminate such bus.When we want to eliminate a bus, we use the method of Kron’s reduction. We simplyidentify the buses that are not active, or do not have an effect on the system. In ourexample it would be buses 5 and 6. The size of our matrix is a 6 by 6 (nxn

Despite this importance, engineering economic analysis is often overlooked byengineering students and novice engineers in the feasibility analysis of various project alternatives.Because of this, students typically do not have the opportunity to apply the concepts learned inthe classroom to a “real-world” engineering problem outside of the classroom. Although relevant“real-world” examples are used in class and new ones are frequently added, students are rarelyfaced with having to determine the economic feasibility of an actual engineering solution. Thus,the subject matter becomes isolated and is not automatically applied when a novice engineerattempts to solve

mathematical education doesn’t include courses beyondCalculus II, and their education in the physical sciences doesn’t exceed two courses in non-calculus physics. On the other hand, the scientific description of processes, devices, and systemsthat has to be learned requires a thorough grounding in the fundamentals of mathematics, physics,and other disciplines. Thus, some compromise should be reached between the need to deliver thefull range of the required knowledge and above-described restrictions in the tools that could beused for delivery of this knowledge. A fiber-optic communications course is particularly challenging because it relies heavily ona deep understanding of the physical processes that control the behavior of the components
