However, the level of complexity that the program may have could impact its full potential. [Student 3]These students described programs and algorithms as the primary process of AI.

Using Open Source Software to Prepare Students for Senior Design Robert Fithen Arkansas Tech UniversityAbstractThis paper deals with the complication and use of engineering software during a student’scapstone design course. Often, students are simply pointed to the computer and told to useengineering software to analyze their designs. As a result, some interesting and outlandishsimulations are presented in support of their designs. As is often the case, there is very littlebenchmarking, verification or analytical/critical thinking of their simulations. This paper willdescribe one method that can be used to help remediate this problem.Online ApproachIn

This allowed us to study a wide variety ofpossibilities and then allowed us to make the best design decision.
