Those careers show an enormous diversitylast century as our society experienced a fundamental and the knowledge base and skill sets required for eachchange from an industrial society to an “information consequently vary widely as well.

Prior toconducting the experiment in the laboratory and immediately after submitting the lab report, allstudents were given multiple-choice tests to assess knowledge gain. Comparisons were madebetween the groups, as well as within the group (before and after the lab experience).

Multiple attempts at infusing EM have beenexplored and developed throughout recent years, including into first year engineering programs,capstone courses, elective courses, and other core technical courses. However, much of theshared faculty-examples of the new EM-infused content involves adding or revising an existingterm project, or revision of an entire course completely. These large time-investments in EM canbe effective, but faculty may be hesitant to alter their courses so substantially. By identifyingsingle-class opportunities to integrate pedagogically-sound practices that meet both EM andABET outcomes, faculty can excite their students

In this work, several optimization techniques have beenimplemented into the CamDesign program to calculate the optimal radius of curvature.Subsequently, the undercutting condition for each design is evaluated, and if the result ispositive, optional preventive measures are recommended to the user. For example, the programmay recommend both an increase of the base circle radius and decrease of the roller diameter.Fig. 1 shows a typical undercutting condition in which a part of the cam profile forms a fish tail.In practice, it is not possible to manufacture an undercut in a planar mechanism.
