In this work, the author will focus ondeficiencies in educating photonic engineers. The loss of interest in these areas is mostly due tothe demand, from industry, for computer engineers and sciences and the promise of high payingcareers

Sections II and III describe what and howeach of the two courses yield most of the assessments toward meeting students’ outcomes, required forABET. Finally, the conclusion summarizes the structural components of this university’s capstoneprogram, that may not be in a typical undergraduate engineering project course.Almost all the accredited

Most of the time, it’s small details that affect the quality of the print; misaligned bed leveling, a bad filament extrusion modifier, and printing at too low a temperature can compound into a poor-quality print that is unusable for our project. Virtually every time one of the prosthetic arm pieces are put through a slicer program, we would have to create custom supports as auto-generated supports tend to fill in areas that are small enough that supports aren’t
