Technological literacy isparamount; students must be proficient in emerging technologies such as automation, robotics,artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and additive manufacturing to understandhow these tools can streamline production. A deep comprehension of manufacturing processes, 2including lean manufacturing principles and systems dynamics, is essential for identifyingbottlenecks and optimizing workflows. To enhance efficiency, students should master processimprovement methodologies, enabling them to minimize waste and improve product quality.Proficiency in data analytics

inspiration from existingpatents and technological advancements. In the realm of vertical gardening, patents related toplant wall structures and irrigation systems provide valuable insights that inform the design andimplementation of such projects. This analysis explores the influence of relevant patents on thedesign and development of a vertical botanical wall project, focusing on concepts such as trough-based plant containment, structural integrity evaluation, and efficient irrigation methods. Byintegrating findings from these patents, the project aims to optimize spatial utilization, ensurestructural stability, and enhance plant growth through effective fertigation techniques.

Systems engineers are highly equipped to deal with complexity, which inheres in large,technology-driven projects. In any project, the capabilities and needs of the system to bedesigned are balanced with the needs of those who will be using and paying for it. Stevens etal.40 suggest that insufficient attention to both sets of requirements is responsible for moresystem failures than are flaws in the technology. In balancing these paired sets of requirements,a landslide of information must be sorted, prioritized, managed, and applied accurately; the riskof either design or system failure must be evaluated and weighed

Nothing is more annoying to a student if a teacher habitually comes late toclass or rushes through the material at the end, while he use class time to tell his long "warstories". In fact, coming early to class opens informal discussions with the students. It also letsstudents pause their troubles. Efed gives full attention to the students who have problems in the course. Although manyof the cases are not emergencies, a few deserve Efed’s full attention. Once, I had a student whowanted to withdraw from my course in the last month of the semester.
