intent is to educate and guide students through ethical issues they are likelyto encounter in real world engineering situations.The way students are exposed to engineering ethics varies from institution to institution. AtEastern Washington University (EWU), two main approaches are used. One uses the NationalSociety of Professional Engineers' (NSPE) Ethics Exam2 as an assessment tool (Durfee &Loendorf3, 2008). While the other extensively utilizes case studies and is the focus of this paper.By combining these two modes of instruction, the students receive a varied and diverse exposureto engineering ethics.BackgroundA variety of definitions for case study research exist but generally they fall into two basicversions.

American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 PROGRAMMING A SIX AXIS MOTOMAN HP3C ROBOT FOR INDUSTRIAL SORTING APPLICATIONAbstract:Industrial systems efficiency often can be improved by replacing human subjects with roboticstechnology. With the virtue of automation couple with robotics, this picture is gradually beingvisible. Accurate inspection of a product in its all stages of production has become a very crucialpart of the packaging industry. Nearly 100% accurate inspection and detection can be achievedby using high speed camera vision systems coupled with robotic arms. However the investment-to-yield ratio must make sense. In this research the proposed setup of camera

entrepreneurial approach to student learning has provenadvantageous to our students. We have established partnerships that extend throughout Rome sothat students can participate in guided tours with students and professors from other universities.Additionally, some students are provided an opportunity to be involved in internationalworkshops and other collaborations in an international setting. These experiences are largelyafforded to our graduate students. These students are only abroad for a short period of time, butthe educational results and the credentials received can be significant. Graduate opportunities areavailable for students to partner with an advisor to set up a specific area of research or studytopic. In 2010, a number of our graduate
Fall 1998, the College of Engineering at the University of Oklahoma (OU) hasimplemented a Laptop Program, which extends the use of electronic media for enhancing theengineering education. Starting from Fall 1998, the program requires every freshmanengineering student to own a laptop. Over the next 4 years, all the undergraduate courses will betaught with the help of a laptop computer. A radio-frequency (RF) wireless network connectionis one of the services provided by the school of engineering in conjunction with the laptopprogram. This allows the students and faculty to be connected to the network, both the Internetand OU’s local area network. This program greatly encourages research in the use of electronicmedia and Internet for creating a
